A friend has just offered to lend me her dog to run with at Beachy Head tomorrow.

Her dog is... amazing... and friend says she trusts me with her! It’s kind of like being lent a Porsche or a Ferrari...

😊

That sounds very exciting! Enjoy trialling the Ferrari, does the dog move as quick I wonder! Looking forward to hearing how it goes.

She is very speedy. Seriously, as in I will genuinely be surprised if I don’t fall over at some point. I’ve run with her before, but not in a race. I do hope she’ll remember she has me behind her and not her usual male human.

You will have to give her a little pre run pep talk 😉🐕🏃

Thank you! As long we don’t smash into any of the other runners we’ll be fine.

I have a very strange image of this dog in my mind :) Sounds great though, hope you have a fun one tomorrow!

Worried she might have wheels and a jet engine? I’ve just tagged you in a post.

Good luck tomorrow too!

The dog I walk is so strong and surges ahead from a standing start and I'm almost catapulted after him

This is just on a walk 🙄🙄🙄🐕😁

Good luck 👍🏃‍♀️🐕

😮😮

One of my friends has a staffie who she won’t let anyone else run with anymore after he managed to pull over a male member of our group (he’s over 13 stone! - the man, not the dog).

It's dangerous but then I fell on my face just running running down the street 🙄😃
