Lakeshore Runner

I was really excited to go running today.   Davy took me on a long loop and I was fast and strong.   I wish he would go faster.  Maybe if he had four legs.   I stopped at an aid station at about mile five and got a nice drink.  It was a mud puddle.  I tried to lay down in it but Davy wouldn't let me.  Party pooper.   Speaking  of poop, I like to stop and check it out, but Davy drags me away.

My longest run since January.   After three miles I was dragging.  My left rear foot ended up a little hurt.  Davy was nice and let me rest a couple times.   Running roads are lame.  I ran the last couple on the grass.   I love running on the grass.

Ran 4 miles with my human, Davy.  When a biker went by us, I wanted to race.  We kicked it up to 6:30 pace but Davy made me stop after a quarter mile.  He's slow.   But after two miles, I was pooped.   Davy dropped the leash on the bike path and I did my best to keep up the last two miles.

I got up at 2:30 a.m. when my human, Davy got up.  He put on his running clothes and I asked him if I could go on his adventure run with jun.   But after a few minutes, I realized that I was much smarter than my human.  I went back upstairs, got in the warm bed, and went back to sleep.  Davy is nuts.

p.m.  Went out with Davy.  After 1/2 mile, my front right foot was sore and I asked to go back home.  I know that barefoot running is all the rage lately, but my four feet aren't tough enough for these miles yet.  I did set a PR this week for miles.   Davy was kind and carried me for the last 1/4 mile.  Pretty nice to have your running partner carry you when you get tired or injured.

Taking a break from running today.  Tried to order some of those cool five-finger shoes since I'm really into barefoot running.   But they didn't have my size.  It doesn't look like they would fit very well anyway.

I live for running!  Do all of you also get very excited when your running partner puts on shoes?   I do.  When crockett puts his shoes on, I go search for my leash, bring it to him and use a sad-eye routine.   Sad eyes are pretty effective to get what you want.  Silly humans, they fall for it everytime.

I am anxious to get out running again!  I've been dragging my leash all over the house but these stupid humans just can't figure out what I want to do.  Can I be any more obvious?  I've been shopping for running shoes and found a pair online that I like.   Now, if I can just convince crockett to buy them for me.  Come on, let's be fair.  He buys running shoes all the time.   I should get some too.   Maybe I'll just snag his credit card when he isn't looking.  The shoes I want are these: http://www.trails.com/gear/p/ruff-wear/barkn-boots-grip-trex-footwear-for-dogs/
