DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 4.6 km DURATION: 59 minutes
Wow, the smoke is terrible! I modified the run to be safe and it was the first time for me just walking the big fellow as the smoke is really irritating. I’m not sure how Rossi feels it but man, for me my eyes and throat are on fire. Rossi walks beautifully on leash. He is really great. When we got to an area I could let him run and I got some nice fun pics so that was good. I hope this smoke clears out soon! The Scoop: 0 poops and lots of pees. Runner: Mark

DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 9.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 3 minutes
I think I know now why we generally don’t run on the weekend! She was a busy one on the path today. A lot of dodging people, bikes, and animals. All went perfect though and Rossi was wonderful! We cruised along and had a great run. As it is Father’s Day, my daughter came along and rode her bike with us so that was an added bonus for both of us! Stopped for a couple water breaks as it was pretty warm. The tongue was out and in full effect today! See you in a week! The Scoop: 1 poop and lots of pees. Runner: Mark DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Wow! That was blustery and fun! I thought we were going to get blown away at times. It actually whipped Rossi’s ears back at one point. We didn’t get rained on too much so that was nice. Overall. it was a good run. there were not too many people out so we nicely cruised.. It was funny on the way back up his road as a house is getting its steps jackhammered out and the workers were throwing rubble into a bin. Rossi was not liking that. He hates the loud noises, that was by far our fastest interval of the day. He was flying to get past! I got a couple of good photos. The Scoop: 1 poop. lots of pees. Runner: Mark DGR RUN OF THE DAY

I am glad we went early today as it was already heating up and pretty warm for Rossi. What a beautiful day out. We went around the university and it was really quiet during our run. Rossi had his moments as usual but I did my best coaxing him along. I got some pretty good pics today so enjoy those. It was a picture perfect day! The Scoop: 1 poop, lots of pees.

It’s a rare day when there’s little to no wind! I’ll take it. We went a little longer today as the day was cool and calm and Rossi gave no objections. No issues or altercations with other pets or people. Rossi was great as usual and he ran along nicely. We did almost get hit by a car while crossing the road. We had a walk signal they were turning and didn’t even look. I guess we just aren’t big enough to be seen! The lady was very apologetic and no harm was done I saw her long before she saw us so we were good. All in all. a very pleasant run. The Scoop: 1 poop, lots of pees. Runner: Mark DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Man today was a gooder! We set a new 10km tethered record for ourselves! We flew along the path and it was a lot of fun. Even as quick as we were going, we had two U of C track guys pass by us chatting up a storm like nothing was going on. They made us look like we were going backwards and they weren’t even trying! Great run! The weather was perfect for Rossi. It was nice and cool and he was able to get one drink and cool down as well. Have a great weekend everyone! The Scoop: 1 pee, 1 poop.

What a day! Rossi handled the heat pretty good today. We stopped for extra water and cool-down breaks. I splashed him with water at the river on his back and sides and he didn’t seem to mind. I think it helped cool him some. We had a near miss with an off-leash dog today on the path where they aren’t supposed to be off-leash. The dog came at us at a pretty fast charge. I yelled at it and the lady who owned him. I was able to keep myself between the dog and Rossi while pushing the dog away and then the lady got her dog. It wasn’t fun. I won’t lie. Rossi almost tore my arm off but we managed. No harm done. I fully laid into the woman as did a bystander who was out for a walk. She apologized half-heartedly it was pretty ridiculous. Well, after that we were amped pretty good and ran quick! All good. Have a wonderful weekend. The Scoop: 1 poop, loads of pees. Runner: Mark DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Man, what a gorgeous day! Check out those pics I got today! The tongue was in full effect today! Rossi was awesome. We saw virtually no one and it was smooth sailing all the way. Pretty warm out but got him one water stop so that was good for him. The Scoop: o poops, lots of pees. Runner: Mark DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It was an awesome run today. I had to get Rossi going at the beginning because I chose a direction he didn’t want to go but once we got going we were off. We got into two races today. One was when a lady who was on a bike with her dog went by us so that was fun. Rossi went into full pull mode and we were flying. The second was with, well a train! We just got across the tracks on the south side before it passed us and again Rossi took off. It was pretty funny. We just about made it to the other end where we would have had to wait for it but it just passed us. Lots of fun and a great day! The Scoop: 1 poop, lots of pees. Runner: Mark DGR RUN OF THE DAY

I swear to you someone out there watches for when Rossi and I are running and hits the button for all the wind! Oh man, she was strong today. It took my hat off once and had Rossi’s ears pinned back as well. We hid across the river in the trees and that helped some. Wonderful temps though. It was getting pretty warm for the big man. Water stops were a must. Are you tired yet of all the Rossi drinking pics!? I’ll try and up my photo game. Have a great weekend! The Scoop: 1 poop, lots of pees. Runner: Mark DGR RUN OF THE DAY

CRUSHFEST! It was the fastest tethered 10 km we’ve ever done. 54:30 on my Garmin. That tuckered Rossi out! He was a weight to pull the final 2 km or we would have been faster. We finally found the way to tire him out and it is speed! Run faster. He was awesome! He paid little to no attention to anything just tried to keep up. I think we will be doing this again! The Scoop: lots of pees and no poops: There was no time for that as we were running fast! Haha! Runner: Mark DGR RUN OF THE DAY

What a long Monday run! This was Rossi’s longest run yet and he crushed it. We will have him up to a half marathon in no time. Haha. He was really great today. We had one harrowing moment when an off-leash dog charged us but I was able to yell at it and the owner. Thankfully, it recalled before anything happened and we carried on. I love this beautiful crisp weather. The Scoop: 0 poop, so many pees. Runner: Mark DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Holy wind! Not sure where that came from but wow, was it crazy. Some gusts literally had me at a stand still. That said, the return trip was a lot of fun! It was a fantastic run today with the sun shining. Rossi was extra thirsty today and wanted to stop at puddles and such and eat snow. I let him have a little bit but I tried to keep him going so he didn’t get an upset stomach. There were lots of people out and lots of dogs to dodge but it was wonderful. See you Monday!

What a brilliant day out! It was fabulous running weather and Rossi was mighty happy to see me so I’m glad I was not forgotten while I was away! He was great today and he minded his own business for the most of our fun run. He even got in a few extra pets from some ladies that wanted to meet him so he was in his glory!

It was a great run with Rossi! Rossi and I did a shorter distance to stretch out our legs from Monday’s 12 km. There were a couple times Rossi did not seem keen to keep moving, I checked his paws to see if there was anything bothering him. A few pads on his paws were raw. We took our pacing easy for the rest of the run and continued to avoid rock and salt patches on the sidewalk. Rossi was a great companion today, and got called a ‘good boy’ by a passersby. Rossi has definitely mastered the art of puppy dog eyes and is too cute to ignore. The Scoop: 3 pees only. Runner: Dru |
