Running like a dog is a topic that I’ve written about before, but after my run with Penny this morning, it was on my mind. So, for my Thursday Thoughts vlog today, I share my feelings about running like a dog and introduce you to a few of my running partners.
Dogs truly embody the spirit of running. Pain, aging, fatigue, none of it makes a difference to them simply because their love of running is greater than all of that. So when I say, “I ran like a dog today,” I truly had the greatest running experience possible.
Do you run with your dog? After watching the video, don’t you want to?
I hope that you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day. I <3 you all!
this is my reason #1 for wanting a boxer!
Go for it! Great running (or walking) partners!
i keep saying I want a dog specifically for everything you just said…they love running the way I do and I just think it would be so great to have that energy!
Get a Dalmatian, they’re awesome. Of course my terrier mix loved to run too. And Buddy, whatever breed he is. Even our bloodhound (she passed away a few years ago), loved to go for a run.
Well, by boxer doesn’t like to run that much but she LOVES to go for a walk. She nudges us to get out of bed in the morning and won’t settle down at night until her after-dinner walk.
You should see our crew before their walk. They are maniacs!
I have to laugh because I have tried taking Sasha for jogs {I’m talking 2 miles here} and by the end of our street, I am pulling her! lol
Okay, I guess not all dogs love to run. 🙂
I think it’s amazing she is still running at 12! I have a 14-yr. old whippet, and his running days are long behind him. I loved running with him when he could, though!
I’ll be so sad when she’s too old. I watch her carefully now for signs that it is too much. She loves it so much, but I worry about her.
Now that’s dedication! I don’t have a dog, but sometimes when my friend and I run together, she brings hers. She just trots along happy to be enjoying the run and the company.
Dogs are amazing running partners. They just love to be out there.
I started to train my lab to run last summer, but she wasn’t 1 yet so we had to cool it a bit. But now she’s 1.5 years old and I plan on running with her a LOT this summer! She’s the best running partner and gets so excited to head out when she sees me grab my running shoes.
I’m excited for you to start running with your dog. You’ll have so much fun! It so funny that they learn when your dressing to run.
cute! Looks a little like my own running partner! I love my four legged friends!
Dogs are the best running partners, aren’t they?
So now I kind of want a dog. Don’t tell the Rake.
Very cool to meet Penny and Olivia! Penny did look exhausted.
I love this mantra! Run like a dog! I’ll add this to my mental database when I feel tired! So true, they just love it!!!
My dogs get me out the door on those days I really don’t feel like running. What better running partner can you have?
I wish I had the energy to run like a dog!
