DGR RUN OF THE DAY ![]() DISTANCE: 9.3 km DURATION: 2 hours 2minutes Good Morning puppies! Okay, let me talk to Mother Nature. When I said Conor doesn't like heat that much, it doesn't mean that we asked you to dump rain on us everyday We agree that sunshine would be nice too. We took our favourite trail in the forest.. but I am not sure what happened since yesterday as it looks like a tornado went through it. There were so many trees down. Hmmm!! We couldn't believe our eyes. For those safety reasons, we didn’t came back the same way. The kiddos behaved very well. There was no skinny dipping this time around. It was too cold! The Scoop: 2 poops and 3 pees for Conor. Leia had 1 poop and 2 pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY ![]() DISTANCE: 5.3 km DURATION: 1 hour
Runner: Ruth DGR RUN OF THE DAY ![]() DISTANCE: 6.7 km DURATION: 1 hour 3 minutes Both Kahlua and Sadie greeted me at the door with wagging tails. I clipped Kahlua into her harness and gave both girls some pets. It’s been so long Lu, let’s get down to business! We walked across the Peace Bridge and made our way down the path towards Crowchild Trail. The wind was crazy this morning! We were moving against it for the first half of our outing, but as we made the journey home on the other side of the river, it was on our backs pushing us along. Kahlua and I did a bit of jogging today too, and we finished with a solid distance. Great job today girl! The Scoop: 1 pee 1 poop. Runner: Ryan DGR RUN OF THE DAY ![]() DISTANCE: 6.3 km DURATION: 1 hour 19 minutes Today, Kahlua and I took it nice and easy and spent extended our hour together as we were having such a wonderful time exploring downtown. We did travel on the river pathway on the way out and then looked for various pieces of art on the way home. East Village and Chinatown are pretty cool. I think all the smiles on Kahlua's face indicate that she agrees. Congratulations on the upcoming wedding! The Scoop: 3 pees only. Runner: Ruth DGR RUN OF THE DAY ![]() DISTANCE: 4.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 3 minutes While smelling the flowers during a snow burst, Kahlua decided to find other contrasts. He decided to look for things that had changed since 2011, the year he was born. First, there were scooters everywhere. Then he saw a sign advertising protein bowls. He couldn’t believe the sign saying the Eau Claire YMCA was up for sale and then there was the ice cream truck right in front of his building. Those trucks are everywhere now. He smiled as he thought of the up-coming May-long weekend as he walked home…at least that hadn’t changed! The Scoop: 3 pees and 1 poop. Runner: Alanna DGR RUN OF THE DAY ![]() DISTANCE: 5K DURATION: 1 hour 3 minutes Kahlua was my 9th and final run of the week. It was wonderful after running 21K yesterday to just have a chill stroll with Kahlua along the river pathway. We just took in everything and everyone from a kettlebell class on a lawn to little goslings swimming with their mom and dad ( see video). Kahlua was in full on grin mode. Thanks for wrapping up this week of runs on a high note. The Scoop: 1 poop, 3-4 pees. Runner: Ruth DGR RUN OF THE DAY ![]() DISTANCE: 5.6 km DURATION: 1 hour 15 minutes May the 4th's weather was supposed to be plus 20 today. However, It was rather gloomy, but perfect running conditions for Kahlua and me. I used my inner Jedi mind tricks to convince Kahlua to walk briskly. It is Star Wars Day after all! She was as happy as can be and we found lots of great vantage points to take photos. She definitely is photogenic! I have been preparing for a big dance show and working long hours on my feet so it was nice to just have a gently cruise along the river pathway with a great dog. Thanks Kahlua! The Scoop: a few pees only! Runner: Shemar DGR RUN OF THE DAY ![]() DISTANCE: 5.6 km DURATION: 1 hour What a warm May day to enjoy the river pathways with Miss Kahlua. We went past runners, walkers, the lunch crowd and rollerbladers. Kahlua shared the pathway with all and was her happy self. I should say there was one exception for her! Kahlua was not pleased with the goose in the middle of the path and she barked it off the pathway. I was a bit of a zombie as I flew in from Vancouver this morning and was up at 3:15 a.m. so it was nice that Kahlua was awake and on top of things! The Scoop: 1 poop, several pees. Runner: Ruth DGR RUN OF THE DAY ![]() DISTANCE: 6.9 km DURATION: 1 hour 23 minutes Kahlua and I had a great run today Nothing nothing but blue skies and clear paths for our run today. We decided to push even further going all the way from the Peace Bridge to the Bow tTrail overpass and back. All the geese are back so that kept us engaged. The Scoop 1 poop 1 pee. Runner: Shemar DGR RUN OF THE DAY ![]() DISTANCE: 5.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 7 minutes Marley on the Move! It was great to see happy boy Marley this morning! We got off on a good trot and Marley decided he was going to choose the route today. We had a nice mix of neighbourhood and trail. He had a big smile on his face the whole time. The Scoop: 7 pees, 0 poops. Runner: Danielle DGR RUN OF THE DAY ![]() DISTANCE: 5K DURATION: 1 hour 3 minutes Lunch-time along the Bow River on a sunny day in Calgary is always quite busy. Kahlua and I had a game-plan to find the most obscure paths along the river to avoid any dog encounters. It seemed to work and we had a lovely time. We did not avoid geese and ducks that seemed to be out in abundance. The blue skies sure put us all in a happy mood. We had a nice little visit post- outing with Sadie and her dad, The Scoop: 1 poop, 2-3 pees. Runner: Ruth DGR RUN OF THE DAY ![]() DISTANCE: 5K DURATION: 1 hour 5 minutes Holy slushy pathways! There were no other dogs in sight so it was actually quite lovely for Kahlua and me on outing today. The only distractions were loud snowblowers that seem to be everywhere. After awhile, we hopped off the river pathway to avoid the noise and walk through Chinatown and Eau Claire where it was a bot more peaceful. As always, Kahlua was a star so i posed her on the yellow star. It was wonderful to spend time with this gentle gal! The Scoop: 0 poops, 4 pees. Runner: Ruth DGR RUN OF THE DAY ![]() DISTANCE: 5.6 km DURATION: 1 hour 2 minutes Kahlua was full of energy. Today the weather was windy with a snowfall. It was not the prettiest weather for my last run with DGR. All good. We made the most out of our situation and ran 5.6km alongside the Bow River Thanks again. I hope everyone has a great summer and spring! The Scoop: 1 pee, 1 poop. Runner: Roy DGR RUN OF THE DAY ![]() DISTANCE: 8.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 2 minutes All the things! From HELLO howls, to uphill climbs, and sniffing her little nose off… Willow did it all today! We checked out some new paths that took us uphill that were still a little icy and therefore challenging, but we kept it together and took our time to conquer the challenge. Willow saw a couple dogs that were off-leash that got her howl motor running, but was able to keep her stride going forward. The pace was consistent, and our strides were true… steps were taken, and good times were had! The Scoop: 1 poop and 1 pee. Runner: Brad |
