He didn't complain about running in the wind and rain and set a good pace. On the downside, he tried to stop and sniff every lamp post.
Yes...I took the dog out with me.
He's a lovely dog, and a faithful friend, but he never has quite got the hang of walking nicely on a lead. I found out this morning that his running etiquette isn't much better.
He was very excited at the prospect of coming out with me, and was jumping up and down so much it took three tries to get his lead on. I wish I could bottle his enthusiasm!
We set out just after 9am (it was my day off), and I began a slow run which he took as his cue to weave from left to right in front of me, with an occasional jump up for good measure.
It took about half a mile for him to calm down, but we did then settle into a reasonable pace, and the rest of the run passed relatively smoothly.
This morning was quite a short run (just under 2 miles). I'm planning on doing the same distance tomorrow at a slightly faster pace so I might give Codey another chance. It was certainly nice to have some company and he appreciated the outing.
I wonder if I can find a route tomorrow that doesn't have any lamp posts...?
There's a nice lamp post free stretch on the M5 but guessing this wasn't quite what you had in mind :)
