I know I’m not the only one who has a dog with a tennis ball obsession. Or, you could call it a retrieving obsession. It gets pretty annoying when my dog is obsessing over crumbled pieces of paper or hair ties or a stuffed animal. He will toss objects to me over and over, hoping …
Ace
At about 8 p.m. April 30, Ace and I completed our 101 miles. We reached exactly 101 miles and then quit. We did not even go .01 miles more! My miles were broken down close to this: Walking: 50 miles Running: 30 miles Biking: 21 miles I have to admit, at about 6 p.m. April …
Ace and I have three more days to go, and we are at 87.22 miles. So far I’ve biked about 12 of those miles, and I plan to bike some more with Ace in the next couple of days. He gets a better workout and I get a break. If you are interested in biking …
I don’t run without a leash in my hands, a dog at my side. Many runners do not own dogs. Other runners have dogs and they don’t bring them along on runs. Either their dogs are “too small” (although I’m sure they could still keep up) or their dogs are too crazy and pull too …
Dog keeps barking I often refer to the field behind our townhouse as our backyard. Really, we live right on the edge of a city-owned soccer field. My mutt Ace and I had this field all to ourselves from November through March. But now that it’s warmer, dozens of people run in that field each …
I looked at what I was wearing a few nights ago and realized everything was either from a thrift store or Plato’s Closet (an over-priced thrift store). Everything, except for my running shoes. Today I made a trip to Dick Beardsley Running Company in Fargo where I buy New Balance running shoes every six months …
Let’s just say we had some more scenery on our walks last weekend than we’ve had in about a year. We went on several short walks on various trails and along the shore of Lake Superior. The mutt decided it was worth it to go for a short swim even though the air temperature was …
When I get too hot my mutt will carry my mittens for me. I don’t mind the drool; they are an old pair from Target used only for running. Ace has also been known to carry my hat and keys (when attached to a big lanyard or key chain). It’s useful to own a retriever …
How many miles are you up to? Apryl from Women Like Sports wrote about her plan to do the Long Beach Marathon this year. Part of her plan includes completing 100 miles in a month with her dog Gus. Pickles and her owner are well on their way to passing last month’s miles. Ace and …
Did anyone make it to 100 miles in March? I know Pickles and her owner made it further than Ace and I. If you made it 100 miles or close to 100, let me know. If you blog about it, I will link to your site. Ace and I walked a total of 60 miles …
