(My dog and I ready for our morning run.)Most know that in the past I have always maintained I HATE to run… Well I started running… for Riddick and because of Riddick, can’t imagine running each morning without his company.
He had so much energy that it just seemed unfair to make him walk on the leash all the time. We don’t get to the dog park as much as I want, that is where he can really run. So I started jogging behind him to use up more of his energy each walk. At first I was in pain and the one who was most warn out but after two weeks of doing a little bit with him each day I can occasionally ware him out.
Yesterday was my first day of coming home and feeling good thanks to the run and today I really was eager to get a good work out in. I actually had to pull him on the leash a bit to get him to keep jogging with me.
I have to admit I finally see why people are so into this, I don’t think I will ever be an impressive runner but I saw results so quickly as far as strength building that I see the appeal now.
TTFN
good for you! I hate running too…although I enjoy aerobic exericise and weights. You look so cozy in your hat! I’m glad you’re beginning to enjoy your runs!
that’s great, Bec. I really miss getting out there for some cardio since I got put on “take it easy orders” from the doc. Hoping that next friday will give me news that i can get out and about again. Keep up the great work, it is so rewarding both physically, mentally and emotionally.
