DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 8.2 km DURATION: 1 hour 4 minutes
Nell and I have been taking the stairs all the way up from the 29th floor these past couple of runs. It has been a little bit more difficult but it adds a new element to our workouts which is pretty nice I will have to admit. Other than that Nell was great today and it seemed like she had a great time with me as I always do with her. We had a great 8km run and the pathway we normally take was pretty much empty the entire way. I can’t wait to see Nell again on Wednesday! Runner: Alex

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3 
  DISTANCE: 8.2 km DURATION: 1 hour 4 minutes
Nell and I were off again today in the snowy cold weather. We tried our best to stay focused on the run but there was lots of wind to deal with down by the river where we usually go. I love that I’m back in action with Nell and am thrilled that we are back together doing our regularly scheduled runs. I see Nell on Sunday and I know that it will be yet another great adventure.

This was the first time in about two weeks that I have seen my buddy Nell. I missed her so much and I was very excited to see her. I think she missed me a lot as well because she welcomed me with open paws and lots of licks. Nell and I were very careful to try and keep our distance from other people who were out and about today and I’d say we did a very good job. The run was great and we definitely got a pretty decent workout in. I’ll see you on Friday Nell! The Scoop: 4 pees, 1 poo. Runner: Alex DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It was a busy one outside. Everyone was taking a break and getting fresh air! Nell and I were extra cautious where we went and stayed away from paths with people and other dogs. This meant we were often trenching through puddles, muddy grass and soggy alleys. It made for a great (and messy) adventure! To make sure she got enough exercise, I took her to the gated, off-lease mini dog park again and we chased each other around. Nell must’ve done 100 laps! Runner: Lucia DGR RUN OF THE DAY #8

Nell was ready for a good workout today! It was a bit slick by the river, so we stuck to snowier patches in residential areas. Luckily, the East Village Dog Running Track (which is fully gated) was open so we went in there and she was able to do continuous laps at full speed. Even though my gauge only says 7.5 kilometres I think Nell achieved double that! Runner: Lucia DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Sundays call for a run with my good pal Nell. Every time I take her for a run is better than the last and we enjoy a wonderful workout together. The poor weather today was brightened up with a bit of sunshine and smiles from other runners and people out for a Sunday stroll. Nell was moving at machine-like speeds as she usually does. She keeps me going when I feel like taking a rest for a second or two longer. The relationship that Nell and I have built throughout our last month or so of runs has really been an enjoyable part of being a part of the DGR team. I hope to continue to build a strong relationship with Nell and all the other dogs that I run with! The Scoop: 3 pees, 1 poo. Runner: Alex DGR RUN OF THE DAY

The time change today had me in a bit of a rough start to the morning but not Nell, she was ready to go like she lost no hours of rest the night before! She was speedy and keeping me on my toes as always. Her playfulness and energy always brightens up my day. I love running with Nell. She makes me love working out with her even more. I’ll see you on Friday Nell! The Scoop: 1 pee. Runner: Alex DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Nell was as electric as always, sometimes I think she had lightning in her paws. Her speed and agility continues to amaze me. However, I enjoy her speed most of the time because it allows for me to get a great workout in! Today Nell and I really focused on our stamina and I think we did a good job of keeping pace. I can’t wait for my next run with Nell. As always, I look forward to many more great workouts in the future! The Scoop: 2 pees. Runner: Alex DGR RUN OF THE DAY

I was feeling a little bit under the weather today so Nell was nice enough to let me take today’s workout a bit easier. I was disappointed in myself for not being able to go on our regular 9 km run but my stomach was hurting a lot today so I think it was in both mine and Nell’s best interest to go a little slower today. Luckily, Nell and I found a stick to play with on the back half of our run and that was good enough to get a little extra cardio in toward the end. I really love spending time with Nell and I can’t wait to see her again on Friday when I’m sure I will be well rested and ready to get back to business as usual! The Scoop: 3 pees. 1 poo.

On Wednesday, Nell and I had a sleep-over! She is a great host - greetings at the door with smiles and wiggles, a hyper-speed tour of the apartment with special attention paid to where her favourite toys were, and her FULL attention! She was so happy to have a person with her that all she did was wiggle and so my photos turned out blurry We snuck out for a quick late night pee break, and poor Nell was so eager to run it was hard not to cave in and take off in my jeans and boots with her. We then spent the evening playing fetch and watching some TV, as well as taking in the amazing view. In the morning we had lots of pets and went out for another quick pee break before I had to go run two other dogs. I was very tempted to take her with me as I know she could run all day and love it, but I had to leave her home with her cat friend. Sorry Nell! Those big Border Collie eyes just get to me! I stopped in once more on Thursday to let her out again, and after lots of pets and cuddles, I had to leave. Thanks for the great evening Nell! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

Love was in the air as Nell and I shared a very romantic run today together! We shared an extra few hugs and kisses as we tackled yet another workout on this Valentine’s Day! Although, I was worried that Nell had already gotten a valentine for today I was very excited when I found out she was waiting for me to ask her to be mine! Today’s run was as lovely as ever and on Sunday when I see Nell next I plan to get in yet another fantastic 9km run with my love! The Scoop: 1 pee. Runner: Alex DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Nell was a great dog to run as always! We had a very enjoyable workout today and we definitely had a great time. It was a little cold out today so I had to bundle up a bit, but with Nell by my side I always feel very warm. I see Nell next on Friday where I hope to continue our streak of great runs together!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday Nell! We had a nice run on this brisk afternoon. Nell and I were training like Super Bowl athletes today as we trekked through the snow and ice on the ground. I asked Nell what team she thought was gonna win today and she said the 49ers but I disagreed with her as I think the Chiefs are gonna win today. Nell and I made a bet so if the 49ers win, I have to give her an extra treat on our next run, but if the Chiefs win she has to give me an extra hug at the end of our next run. Hopefully I win the bet! See you on Friday Nell! The Scoop: 2 pees. Runner: Alex DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1

A bit chilly out today with Nell. The cooler air helped with the sweat on the run today. Nell was really excited to get out there today and her enthusiasm was contagious! Nell always helps me when I don’t feel like working out, she makes it much easier to get out there seeing her smiling face. We came across a few other dog walkers that Nell was a bit scared of, but we managed to get by ok! Hopefully this week will continue with the warm weather so that Nell and I can have another enjoyable run on Friday when I next see her! The Scoop: 2 pees. Runner: Alex DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Nell and I enjoyed our run today in the warmer weather! The excitement of the day was that we had a surprise bonus workout when I arrived and the elevators were down. Up and down 29 floors... twice!! It was funny to meet Nell’s neighbours in the staircase taking breaks on their way up or down. Great exercise! We saw many geese on the river today, Nell was very curious about what they were up to! See you Wednesday Nell 😊. The Scoop: 2 pees. Runner: Ali |
