This sounds like a great time. The question is, team harness or pick 1?

We started our first day of 5K training this morning!  Look out you guys.  1.2 miles in 10:23.  Now we just have to work on cutting out those sniff breaks.


That's faster than me!  I'm staying home!  Don't want to get beat by a dog with 12" legs!


Lisa are your legs longer than 12"?

MY GOD YOU HAVE A PUG. simply the most adorable horrific creatures ever. I spent a week with my friend and his roomates had a Puggle (beagle pug mix) I am definately sold on these dogs. He did sleep right next to me though snoring in my face, i could do without that part if it.

edited* in the above pick the one on the right definitely looks the most focused I'd go with that 1 pulling the sled.

Okay hubbie and I took dogs running today and I know my big baby is good for at least 6 miles



My little baby is more of a 400 sprinter,  but she held on for 3 miles today.

Anyways, vizslas are fast when they wanna be... guess we will hae to wait for a "rematch"

Shhh....don't let Bella see this or else she'll want to do this race.  My lab LOVES to run!  Unfortunately she runs too fast for me so the hubby has to run with her.

Here's the look I get all the time when I'm putting on my shoes- her sitting near her leash and her looking up at her leash.  And of course, she's always my at home personal trainer

My big fella barely runs to his food bowl, so he said a 5k is out of the question.  If there is ever a contest for whoever has the biggest poop, he said he is in.  At 231 lbs - he drops it like a hippo.

Brian, could I borrow him for the race.  I want to ride him.  I already have a saddle.

Wow Brian, that's a big dog!!

For the record, Strega and I are out.  I threw my back out and am having enough trouble just taking him for his 3 walks/day without crying like a baby.  No running, biking or even swimming for me for a while.

My Husky and I are out as well. I took her for a 5 mile trail run the other day and she refused to go any longer . This dog hates to run if it is over 60 degrees. If it is below freezing she'll be up for 20 miles.

I need to run 10 miles and might do a marathon next weekend so the 5k probably isn't the best idea for me anyway. Not to mention I (of course) don't have child care.

Oh rats...we missed this.
We have two Vizslas to add to the event next year...
Pretty sure they can "hang" with anyone (if not slowed down by owners).
They run like the wind but especially excel at rest necessary to avoid "overtraining."

Rose, 5 Years and Bella, 11 months (8 weeks here Smile)...(pup can now take her...).
Maybe if I get to use a bike for the race...they can show their potential!

My niece did the race as her very first 5K (she's 12 and already as fast as me, but that says more about how slow I am!) and she reported seeing lots of people with dogs. she thought running with all the dogs was really fun.

I would have if I'd not hurt my back and been "grounded" from running till further notice.


My dog is getting antsy for his run.


Come to think of it, so am I.


(at least as of today I'm allowed back on my bike and in the pool....)
