Week 7 done and dusted

W7R3 done at 7am. Very blustery today and even though I run in a circular path the wind is always in my face lol, how does that happen? Ran with the dalmatian on the lead this norning, but he needs practice running in a straight line! Week 8 here we come.

What a lovely dog! I'm sure he'll adjust to the running.

You've learned one of the laws of running today - the wind is always in your face!!

He runs about a foot infront of me in a zig zag with me running along behind shouting heel lol! Unfortunately he doesnt like other dogs so unless I run in the forest he has to stay on a lead. But we'll keep practicing and I might catch up with him someday!

Well done for getting up early to complete the run! That shows grit! Windy conditions are the pits but normally when we turn a corner we can find less bluster. It's all good training though and will help your lung power. Honest!

Great to be able to run with the dog! Kills two birds with one stone. Dalmations like running so you should have the perfect running buddy there. The dog will fall into your stride I suspect. They do zig-zag annoyingly at times don't they though. Hopefully yours will fall in line eventually.

Well done in that blustery wind - i haven't had the joy of that yet!! Your dalmatian is gorgeous and congrats on running with him on a lead - my border collie runs with me but off lead otherwise he becomes a trip hazard 😂
