Hot doggie

Today was my scheduled short run (2k), so I decided to run with the dog in the harness ( I will post a photo of the dog in future as this will, I'm sure, earn me lots of "likes"). Rather hot here (31deg), but 37 is forecast for the evening.

I was mentally prepared for a short run, poor Prego wasn't, so I was more surely then he. Still,it was a good reminder that cani-X (dont know what it's called in english) is a joint effort about working with your team mate and finding a good rhythm.

Next week we will be on holiday in the Alps, so I feel like a Tour de France cyclist with the dreaded mountain stages looming ahead. Next week I will switch from distance targets to time targets. From my past experience, in the mountains nothing is flat. Every track that appears flat on the map is more undulating than at home.

It was a good run today, I send you all good vibes.

Canicross here. I'd like to give it a go if I had a doggie but I wouldn't run with him in the hot weather. They can overheat easily.Hopefully it will be cooler in the Alps. Have a good holiday but no running up Alpe d'Huez🏃‍♂️🏔
