Last Run with This Remarkable Dog!

DGR RUN OF THE DAY

DISTANCE: 7.9 km DURATION: 59 minutes

Today embarked my last run with my favourite dog Nell. Together we faced the elements of today one last time. We had a great workout and we managed to fight off most of the cold weather. Nell has been a great friend and running partner for the last year and  I am sad to see her go, I know that she is in good care and that her new home will be waiting for her with open arms. I cannot count the amount of runs that I have gone on with Nell over the last year but I just want Nell to know that every single one of those runs were the most enjoyable because of how wonderful she was. Nell was always very well behaved and listened to everything that I told her to do. She is also the friendliest and most excitable dog I’ve ever met, and she greeted every person she met with a smile and cuddle. I will miss Nell probably more than she knows but I would like to think that I’ll always have a place in her heart as she has in mine. Good luck on your next adventure Nell, and if you’re ever back in Calgary you know how to reach me!  The Scoop: 1 pee, 1 poo.

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

DISTANCE:  11.1 km DURATION: 1 hour 13 minutes

Nell has only 2 more DGR runs so I wanted to have a chance to say goodbye.   I thought I would take her on one of our old favourite routes and see how speedy we could go. Nell LOVES speed and we were on track for a course record.  However, soon we faced lots of distractions.  First, we had to wait until 3 Mule Deer crossed the heavily trafficked street right in front of us.  Next, we had lots of dogs to avoid so we pulled over to let them pass, I also got a call for a last minute dog run so had to coordinate that while running.  I am so surprised we made it 11K on this unforgettable run.  That said, we took the last block or two to cool-down.  I also spent some time chatting with her family and giving Nell some belly rubs.  I will not forget you Nell as you are unforgettable in my books.  The Scoop; 1 poop, 2 pees.  Lots of love Miss Nellie on your next adventures and enjoy your last run this weekend with Alex,

DISTANCE:  7.3 km DURATION: 1 hour

​It was a pretty good run today for Nell.  We managed to take in another warm day and a nice workout to boot. Nell was super excited to get outside as she was pulling me in every which way. I’m not sure what it was about today but Nell sure was itching to run around and go a bit wild. We managed to avoid most of the other dogs that we saw on our path today and Nell was quite well behaved in that regard so I was proud of her. Hopefully, we will be able to enjoy this weather for a few more weeks even though I know that is asking a lot from Calgary weather.  The Scoop: 2 pees.

No Matter the Weather, Nell has Energy

DISTANCE:  8.3 km DURATION: 55 minutes

Chilly day out today with my buddy Nell. The constant running today helped to keep me warm. Sometimes I am jealous of Nell’s warm fur coat that she gets to sport on these cold afternoons. Nell always has so much energy no matter what the weather is like outside and that’s the best part about running with her. Nell pushes me to try my absolute best every time I take her on a workout. Keep up the great work Nell!!  The Scoop: 2 pees.

More Productive in  the Cold

DISTANCE:  8.3 km DURATION: 59 minutes

A Winter Wonderland emerged before Nell and my run today. The cool weather helped to keep the sweat levels to a minimum today but we had to make sure to watch out for hidden ice beneath some pathways. Today was a great workout and I think Nell and I are more productive in the cold weather than in the warm weather. The important thing was that we both had a great Sunday run and we managed to stop and take in the snow more than once. This is the weather that we will have to start getting use to again but I think Nell is up to the challenge with me by her side!  The Scoop: 1 poo, 1 pee.

Nell and I were off yet again today! It was a bright and sunny afternoon and we both had a great workout while enjoying each other’s company. Nell did a little extra sniffing around today but it was nice because I was feeling a bit sluggish half way through our run. Nell always seems to give me that little extra boost of energy when I need it most and that’s one of many things I love about her! I hope Nell gets a good rest today and has a great thanksgiving, she deserves to eat lots of turkey and be around the people who love her!  The Scoop:

​Nell and I had a great run today as we took in the beautiful autumn afternoon. I love running with Nell especially on days like today, it always reminds me of the simple things in life and to try and take in each moment as best we can. Sometimes I feel like Nell and I are the only two outside and the world is ours, it’s a feeling that I can’t quite explain but it means so much to me. Nell is the best dog anyone could have to be running by their side and I would like to think that she thinks the same way about me. She’s the friendliest dog and I love going on runs with her! Great job today Nell!  The Scoop: 1 pee.

Some Things Never Change with Speedy Nell

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

DISTANCE:  9.9 km  DURATION: 1 hour 7 minutes

It has been ages since I ran Nell but some things never change like how fast she can run and how enthusiastic she is about being outside. Due to my elevator phobia, Nell and I also climbed up and down the 29 floors to her place as a warm-up.  We then navigated our way along the pathways by Repsol Centre and towards Sandy Beach.  There was a bit of construction so we had to cross some busy streets but I got Nell to sit patiently until the light turned green. Once that light is green, Nell is all go-go-go.  She did get in her Border Collie crouch when passing a few dogs but I kept her from greeting them.  I wanted her all to my self. She also was pretty good when we went past a skateboarder.   Way to go Nell! We took our time enjoying the autumn colours and stopped for a few photo ops and treats.  I also enjoyed a special visit with Nell's mom which was definitely a highlight.  Thanks for starting this weekend on a high note and with an amazing workout! The Scoop; 1 pee only.

A nice Sunday morning run with my friend.  We both enjoyed each other’s company as well as the peaceful silence of city in the morning. Nell and I had a great time taking in the morning light and having our normally busy pathway all to ourselves. Getting our workout done in the morning is a great way to start the day and prepares you for the rest of the tasks you have to take on for the day. All in all, we had a good run and once again took the time to enjoy the little things in the morning time that you cannot experience at any other time of the day!  The Scoop: 1 pee.

​t was a great run today with my favourite running partner Nell. We ran  past by all the nice trees and plants today at a reasonable pace and we were back at Nell’s place in a reasonable time. Running at this time of the day is always nice because you can sort of run after the sun as it starts to set and the golden light makes everything look much different and magical. There were a few other runners out today and Nell made sure to greet every one of the with a smile. Nell has the sort of charm that you cannot teach a dog and it is one of her best qualities.  The Scoop: No business to report!

Good day today for Nell and me! The weather was a bit chilly but I always find that the two of us run faster in the cool weather than we do in the heat. There were lots of birds and bugs out today so Nell and I did our best to try and avoid them. There were not too many people outside today which made for a very concentrated run and it made easier for Nell not to get distracted. I continue to enjoy taking Nell out on runs and can’t wait to see her again soon!  The Scoop: 1 poo.

DISTANCE: 7.3 km  DURATION: 1 hour 10 minutes

Nell and I took some time today to stroll around a bit to smell the grass and rest in the shade. Nell seemed to be quite hot today for some reason and she was not running as fast as she normally does. I made sure to take it a bit easier with her today just to make sure she would not overheat or feel too uncomfortable. After I felt like she was feeling better, we picked back up on the run and managed to finish strong. Nell was very tough today and I know even if we did not end up taking it easier today, that Nell would’ve given the run her all if I had asked her to. I wanted to be safe and make sure she had enough energy to make it all the way home. Great job today Nell!​

I had a great summer running with Nell the whole time and she really kept me a lot of company especially during the first few months of quarantine. I am very happy that I will get to continue on my 3 day a week runs with her throughout the school semester and am looking forward to staying in good shape for the winter time to come.  The Scoop: 1 pee.

​Nell was her regular old speedy self today. She was dragging me in all sorts of different directions and you could tell that she was very eager to get outside. We didn’t come across a whole lot of people on our outing but it was probably for the best considering Nell and I are trying our best to practice social distancing. The workout was good and Nell continues to keep me in good shape! Nell's mom has been keeping me extra busy helping her around the house and I enjoy helping her out a lot because I can tell she appreciates it a lot! Thanks for the extra water and snack!  The Scoop: 1 poo.
