I'm on lockdown at my mum's place. the living room is her domain, from where I sit in the kitchen I have to endure her high volume watching of bargain hunt, cash in the attic, tipping point, the chase, pointless and every single bloody news and politics show in between on a daily basis. Taking the dog out is the one moment of peace I get in the day.
Combination of quarantine and my pup reaching the age I can start going on very short (1 mile) runs with him has coaxed me back into lacing up my running shoes and plodding along again. Given that I've wanted a dog to take running with me ever since I did my first couch to 5k in 2010 this is pretty exciting.
We're starting out with a cheap canicross belt/leash to clip to his usual harness just to see how we get on but with two runs under our belt he's loving it. I'll probably splurge for a better harness soon just so he's as comfortable as possible as he definitely wants to go faster than me some of the time and for a 11kg dog has a fair amount of pull in him. need a small water system for him as we tend to run a mile away and then walk back just to get in enough exercise to keep him tuckered out indoors for most of the day.
