Runs with Dogs

Saturday I did my first 5k of the year.  We did the polar bear run which has been historically dog friendly.  I took Legend with me and we finished in about 28:30 which was good enough for 2nd in my age group, and not bad for a 12 year old dog!  We were about 3 minutes faster last year but I didn’t push either of us.

Today Epic went on a 5.5 mile run with me.  It was a bigger step up than I had planned so we took a walk break in the middle but overall he seemed to do ok.  Plus it was a little warmer today.  He gets to run his first 5K this upcoming weekend.  I think he will be a big help in my half marathon training this spring.
