Hi, I also completed w2r1 this morning & also with my 3 labradors! They clearly think it’s some kind of game with the running then walking & it’s a little shaming when I’m running up hill and they zip past me with no effort whatsoever. But I loved today and the weather was good so high five to you my fellow w2 runner! πŸ™Œ

3 labradors! Wow, bet that is more difficult than just my one. Good luck with it all. I’ll try and take a picture of her and me running! X

I’m away from home at the moment so missing running with faithful friend. However a friendly husky dig run with me for a while this morning!

It’s a bit shaming when your dog passes you up the hills! Fancy running with 3 that’s my idea of bliss to have three dogs ! There would not be enough room on the bed !,

I think I love my baba dog more than my husband! I miss him dreadfully when I go away but I know he is with my best pal and she loves him too .

Keep up with the running it’s great for us and the dogs !

Also on w2r1. Surprised how I enjoyed it! Also run with my pooch too very energetic springer who zooms past me πŸ˜‚
