DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 7.2 km DURATION: 1 hour
Rossi was limping a bit in the beginning of our run this morning, so we warmed up with a bit of walking and really light jogging. He seemed to be doing a lot better once we got warmed up, but I still didn’t want to push him too hard and I just let him set our pace. We also did a lot of running on the grassy areas in between the walking path and the bike path since grass is less harsh on the joints than pavement. It was super warm out today; I wish we could just hop in the river to cool down. Great work today Rossi! The Scoop: 3 pees, 0 poops. Runner: Rossi

DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 9.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 11 minutes
Is that snow on the ground on this 22C bluebird sky day? No, it is dandelion fluff lining the trails that Ollie and I ran on. We took the pathways past Stanley Park and I decided to make a special stop to the pet store in Britannia for a treat. Ollie was thrilled! My reward was finding a beautiful garden with gigantic orange Icelandic Poppies. What a beautiful way to start a Wednesday! The Scoop: 1 poop, 3-4 pees. Runner: Ruth DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Slow and steady! It was not our fastest or furthest run today, Rossi was pretty chill considering it was so warm out. We made our way to the river which has dropped a bit, but is still moving fast and is quite murky. Rossi grabbed a quick drink when he could, but wasn’t taking too many sips. It was a casual Friday pace. We passed a bunch of other dogs that Rossi was curious about but he didn’t break stride.. It was a beautiful way to finish the week! The Scoop: 1 poop and a bunch of pees. Runner: Brad DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Windy Wednesday! Rossi lost some enthusiasm after walking out the front door and seeing the grey sky and strong wind. We started a little slower than normal, but it didn’t take too long before he and I were sprinting through the field. Seeing a couple other dogs out kept him energized, but overall it was relatively quiet on the paths today. We grabbed a quick drink at the river and checked out a couple new spots before coming home. The Scoop: 1 poop and a bunch of pees. Runner: Brad DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It was nice and cool for my run with Rossi this morning, and thankfully, we missed all of the rain that came this morning and later this afternoon. We ran along both sides of the Bow River. There were no trains on the tracks at the time of our run so it was pleasantly quiet. Along the way, we saw a person walking their dog that looked almost exactly like a coyote. Rossi gave the dog a little bit of a weird look as we passed by. Great work today buddy! The Scoop: 4 pees, 0 poops. Runner: Ryan DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Wooo, it was a hot one this morning. Rossi and I started off with some running in and out of shade and sun on the sidewalks of the neighbourhood, then we made our way up to the ridge overlooking the city. It felt like not too long ago we were up there looking down at a cold grey city. Those shades of grey and those bare branches are now fully replaced by vibrant greens and leaves of all shapes and sizes. As we ran along the top of the ridge, we were blasted by some strong winds that nearly took off my hat, but it was all good because they cool us down. Great job today Rossi! The Scoop: 2 pees 0 poops. Runner: Ryan DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Let’s Go! Rossi was full of energy today! He took the lead a couple times on our adventure. We stopped at the river at least 4 times. Rossi took advantage of each opportunity to get a drink! It was a beautiful day with lots of people and dogs out. Rossi and I were side by side enjoying the weather like everyone else! The Scoop: 0 poops and a ton of pees. Runner: Brad DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Rossi and I made our way down to the Bow River pathway. We took a less direct route this time because we didn’t want to get stuck at the long light at the end of the road. Once we made it to the pathway, we were running in the wind all the way towards Shouldice Park. The wind was actually kind of nice on this warm day. There were quite a few people outside which made the pathways pretty busy, so we found our self running on the grass a few times to avoid having to weave in and out of all the people, dogs and strollers. Running on the grass is quite nice sometimes since it’s more forgiving on the knees and joints than the solid concrete. We did a little bit of walking on the way home for our “cool-down.” Awesome work today Rossi! The Scoop: 3 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Ryan DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Rossi and I took it pretty easy today due to his recent coyote encounter. He was doing pretty good in the beginning with some running, but after a while he seemed to be holding back a little. Poor guy! That’s okay, we just mixed in some walking and still had a great time getting some fresh air. It was pretty cloudy this morning, with a gentle sprinkle and some wind, but we didn’t really get wet which was nice. Great job today Rossi, I hope you feel better soon! The Scoop: 4 pees, 0 poops.

River dips and a history lesson! Rossi was a bouncing bag of beans when I arrived today and his enthusiasm did not wane. The hot day called us to the river and we found some nice quiet trails through the park with a couple quick cool offs. Did you know who Edworthy Park was named after? We found out today. Rossi was a total angel running right beside me and not fazed by any people, dogs, or geese passing on the pathway. See you next time Rossi! The Scoop: 5 pees, 1 poop.

Breezy Rossi was at the front door waiting for me today. He got his chest scratches and said Hello, then we were off! With a strong wind at our backs, heading to the park was easy. Coming home we had to endure the constant force but it wasn’t that bad! We took our time today. We stopped at the river twice for drinks, and watched curiously as we passed a dog training school in the park. The Scoop: 1 poop and all the pees. Runner: Brad DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It was a windy but warm morning. It was one of, if not my first run this year where I could comfortably be out in just shorts and a t-shirt. When I picked Rossi up, he was super excited to see me, but not so sure about getting his harness on. He playfully ran back and forth between me and his dad before I finally got the harness on him. We kept a pretty steady pace all the way over to the ridge. Rossi only took one pee break and just a couple breaks to sniff around along the way. The sun sure tired us out, so we did a little bit of walking towards the end of our time together. Great job today buddy! The Scoop: 1 pee, 0 poops. Runner: Ryan DGR RUN OF THE DAY

What a gorgeous day! I stopped at my car to ditch a layer before getting too far away from home. The sunshine was beautiful! Rossi and I found a new spot to grab a drink on the way back that was a little faster flowing and easier for him to access. He met a woman who was jogging our direction that he wouldn’t get too far ahead of before stopping and waiting for her to catch up. She was nice and gave him a pet at one point in which I told her she needed to keep up so I could get him home. Hahaha! It was a great run with perfect weather! The Scoop: 1 poop and a bunch of pees.

Hello handsome! The last time I ran Rossi, he had a companion dog named Roxy and I think he was trying to impress her as he ran quit fast and smoothly. Today, it was just Rossi and me. I felt like I was Rudolph pulling Santa in his sleigh with toys. The snowy weather was definitely fitting for this type of image. That's okay Rossi, I will lead he way! There were not many distractions on the trails so we weaved our way around Christmas Tree Trail and the river pathway. The sun started to really heat things up and I think my winter puffy jacket was a bit too much. Rossi still got in an 8J just under the hour so I was pretty impressed. The Scoop: 1 poop, 2-4 pees.

Happy Friday! Rossi was out on the front lawn and saw me walking up the hill. As soon as I stepped on the property, he came sprinting to me to say hi! We enjoyed every bit of the sunshine, and stopped at the river three times for a drink. There were lots of other dogs and people out enjoying the weather, Rossi got a chuckle out of a couple walking their big mountain dog. We saw them as we crossed the pedestrian bridge and Rossi went into full stop + sit on his own so he could watch them pass. A great day and run! The Scoop: 1 poop and a bunch of pees. Runner: Brad |
