Happy Wednesday Charlie! I’m sure glad we rescheduled for today..... we were blessed with some warmer temperatures and sunshine which made our run beautiful! I was due to get my long run in today so I tied that in with your run. Lucky for me, I could just run from my house to yours, pick you up, run some more, drop you off, and run home for a 21km round trip! Today, we saw some deer crossing the road, tackled a very steep hill (where we transitioned to a power hike!) and finished off our run winding through the neighbourhood pathways. Your lead was bugging you a bit today so you’d stop periodically and try and take it off... (your efforts never being successful). Thanks for another great run Charlie and see you later this week.

Boy, am I glad we decided to run today and not tomorrow! It looks like the weather is going to take a turn for the worse and nobody will be keen to be outside in pouring rain! We had another fantastic trail run along the Bow River today. Charlie and I explored a part of Fish Creek I had never been to before so that was fun. We also saw a big Bald Eagle soaring in the wind which was really cool. At our turn-around point, Charlie and I took our first selfie together hahaha.... Things are getting serious Charlie! We seem to have established a bit of a routine to our run now.... at the end I let Charlie take a quick paw dip in the river to clean off his paws before we head home on the paved pathway. Today, he had a mischievous look in his eyes...was he was thinking of diving under the water? Thank goodness he didn’t, as I don’t think Mom would have been too impressed with a drenched dog. See you again soon Charlie. Charlie’s Scoop: two pees. Runner: Nancy 
 DISTANCE: 8.43 km DURATION: 1:01:28 Happy Monday Charlie! I have a motto for Mondays: “Never Miss a Monday” .... meaning....I never miss a Monday workout and I’m happy that I was able to do my workout with him today. We had another beautiful, sunny mid-day run together with a lot of varied terrain. I’m still being mindful of his paws (so not to make them sore). We are avoiding concrete as much as we can. We ran along the river today then up into some neighbourhoods, winding through the urban parks. There are so many beautiful flowers in bloom now. I tried to take a photo of Charlie with some purple crocuses but he was more interested in doing full body rolls in the grass. I think he was getting tired towards the end of our run today and likely hot too! Why does he insist on wearing his big, long fancy fur coat on our runs🤣? We had a quick paw splash in the river to clean him off before we hit home for his nap in the cool garage. See you later this week Charlie! Charlie’s Scoop: two pees. Runner: Nancy

Happy Friday Charlie! What a happy guy you were today! You even let out a little bark of excitement as we left your house 😊. Today, we did all kinds of training. We set out to find some single track and had great success! We climbed. We descended. We climbed again. We descended again. We scared some deer. We flushed a pheasant. We found mud and dirt trails I didn’t even know were there.! At one point when we stopped, you went through my legs and looked up at me and it was adorable! We may not have logged as many kilometres as I thought we would but we sure made up for it with all our hill climbing. Thanks for another great run Charlie and I look forward to our next one. Enjoy your nap! I think I might go do the same! Charlie’s Scoop: 2 pees. Runner: Nancy

Good morning Charlie! I have to admit..., I love how excited you get when I arrive to take you out! I think your little paw pads are starting to toughen up from all this running. We decided a “run/walk “ was a good idea for today and we steered clear of all pavement To keep those paw pads happy. It’s awesome to be able to run you along the river and I know you’re dying to jump in. I feel the same way sometimes 🤣. Today, we saw two giant, beautiful white pelicans (I think they were pelicans🤷♀️) in the river, stumbled upon a children’s hang-out fort in the bushes, and snapped a great photo of you admiring the view. We did a quick paw check at the half-way point and you looked good so we kept on trucking. We didn’t get quite as far today as we usually do, but you were still working hard on all those uphills so I think you’ll be tired this afternoon. Dont forget to tell Mom to check your belly for ticks. We were in some tall grass today. Charlie’s Scoop: 2 pees. Runner: Nancy 
  DISTANCE: 9.07 km DURATION: 1:07:38 Happy Monday Charlie! I was expecting rain today but it was a beautiful sunny day for a run on the trails. We fixed you up good before we took off and put on some boots to protect your little paw pads. We ran along the Bow River and there were loads of birds making noise in the water! You SO BADLY wanted to go swimming but we had to keep you dry and feet protected today! We must of been moving stealth-like because we scared a fisherman walking on the trails.... (even though I did yell out I was coming 🤷♀️) Haha! It was fun to run at an easy pace today as I’m a little sore from my weekend race. I also discovered trails I had never been to before so we will be returning back there in our upcoming runs Charlie. Have a great nap today! Charlie’s Scoop: 2 pees. Runner: Nancy

Happy Monday! It was lovely to meet Charlie’s ‘Mom’ today. We had a great chitchat before Charlie and I headed out on a sunny run. There is still a lot of snow sprinkled around in our neighbourhood. Charlie took several nose-dives into the deep snowbanks for a cool-down. We tried to stay on dry pathways as this is a messy time of year for puppy paws. Charlie is such a great running buddy. He never pulls, and keeps a steady pace. Whenever we come upon other dogs, he’s always focused and wants to keep running. What a great training partner you are for me Charlie! We picked up some good speed on the downhill back to Charlie’s house then finished up with a walk on his street as a cool-down. See you on Wednesday Charlie. Enjoy your afternoon nap. You earned it!

It was another beautiful day for a run. Mr. Charlie you are such a pleasure! Today, we set out through our neighbourhood for a big loop along Fish Creek ridge. Charlie is so well mannered on his leash and keeps a great pace. I’ve realized that unless I stop, he doesn’t even make time to relieve himself! When we hit the ridge I tried to find as many trails as possible to follow along the river. We stopped for a roll in the grass (itchy muzzle) and at one point Charlie’s ears caught wind which was hilarious. Thanks for a great run Charlie.... I’ll see you soon buddy! Charlie’s scoop: 4 pees.

Charlie!!! It was wonderful to meet you and run with you today! Wow.... you are such a well-mannered boy! Today we headed down into Fish Creek Park. We hit the river early into our run to make sure you were dry before you got back home. I would have loved to have let you go for a swim but we just met.... 😉 Also, we came across a pair of geese that looked like they were going to chase us if we got any closer. We met several people walking dogs while we were on our run. You were such a good guy.... never once did you pull or try to steer me towards furry friends. We just kept on trucking and kept a nice pace for our entire run. I am so happy to have a speedy runner to run with.... I look forward to seeing you on Thursday to run your sillies out.
