What is your favorite running “thing”? Something that you either HAVE to have for every run or race, or something you don’t always have or use, but look forward to eating/using/wearing before, during or after a run. Maybe it completely changed your running, or is something you just really like. It can be something you wear, something you eat, something you use (in reality or digitally), etc, but it has to be a thing.
My favorite running "thing" is my Border collie, CB. The past few weeks we've logged well over 50 miles on the lakefront (I think he needs a daily mile account to keep track). He now has his own Daily Mile account. I love his enthusiasm- he is ALWAYS ready for a run. He trots along on the path, prances like a deer in the grass, jumps up on the higher wall portions to be closer to my height around the Shedd Aquarium, and !SQUIRREL! sprints to chase squirrels or pigeons (he knows better than to mess with the Canadian Geese).
Running with him the last few weeks has given me so much happiness that I'm constantly thinking about our next run together- i'm sure he is thinking the same.
CB is my "Favorite Running Thing."
CB is my happy runner dog.

Awesome awesome answer! My fave so far! I love CB and the pics! He does need his own Daily Mile account!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think tonight might be the night he gets his own account :)
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Definitely my favorite response so far! :)
ReplyDeleteAww thanks :)
ReplyDeleteHmm maybe Cola needs an account too ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it love it love it!!! I especially love the first picture of CB, he looks so happy! If I had a companion like CB to run with, I couldn't help but be motivated. How could you NOT want to go running when you've got a bundle of joy like that?!?

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful face he has!! I can't wait for waffles to get bigger and be my running buddy! Great answer :)
ReplyDeletelol his own daily mile account is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteLove this - I'm a sucker for running buddies of the four-legged variety.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pics of your CB! Dogs are seriously the best running companion. They will never complain, slow down, or tell you they don't want to run that day.
ReplyDeleteMy Aussie is my favorite "running thing"!! She likes to run a little bit ahead of me and give me the "why are you going so slow" look. Then when we are headed towards home and she lags behind (seriously, she could run all day), I turn around and give her the same look. She and CB should be friends :)
