Can You Run Faster Than Us?

By George
 
My buddy Max and I both beat our 50-meter dash records today, and we both feel great! The hard work and dedication surely paid off!

Max used to run 50 meters in 6.82 seconds and I used to do complete it in 7.15 seconds. Now, Max does it in 6.12 and I finish at 6.73 seconds.

Max's Profile
Breed: Yellow Labrador Retriever
Age: 6 1/2 years
Weight: 72 lbs
Height: 23 inches


My Profile
Age: 27 years
Weight: 175 lbs
Height: 5’11”


What started off as jogging together to get in better shape, we’re now continuously living a healthier lifestyle. As his guardian, I feel that it’s important to involve him in the process of living an active and healthy lifestyle, because he couldn’t do it on is own. And part of this process is done so by eating a healthy diet. I buy most of my groceries in the organic section of the grocery store. For my buddy Max, I pick up holistic dog food at a pet shop called  Brandy's. They specialize in only the best holistic pet food, and are located in Montreal with free delivery around the greater Montreal area.

Having Max around for support and motivation really helps me focus. And I’m sure that he loves to see me running with him too.

If you and your paws are up for some friendly competition, then share your own sprinting times and stories about running together. Just post your own message and/or reply to this one. 

See you later alligator :P

Great work! Keep it up! Next time I run with my dog, I'll post a running time too!

@ Mark:
Hi Mark, thanks for posting a comment :) What is your current running time? And what dog do you have? If you have any running friends, tell them to post their running times too for some friendly competition. Cheers :)

Having a dog to run with you will surely encourage a hard workout.

I run 3 miles a day, sometimes whith my dog, but he's 14 years old and he doesn't wanna miss Wheel of Fortune

Hey Mark!

Because of you I started running with my dog too! Running with my dog has reallyu showed me how out of shape we (my dog and I) are. Milo (my dog) and I run 2 kilometers today.

Keep of the good work!

Hey Mark,
Congrats on your feat, I myself don't have a dog but I do keep an ative lifestyle of running.After reading your story, it has encouraged me to alter my habbit and try running with a dog (possibly my friends dog Ringo) because I feel it would be good motivation for a intense workout. Post your current runnings time!

George said...

@ Omar:
I totally agree! Having our dogs with us is great motivation. What bread is your dog? How often to you guys run? Thanks for posting :)

George said...

@ Ian:
lol sometimes exercise for an older dog is the best thing for their age. But Wheel of Fortune is a great show. Keep everyone here posted on the future status of your 14 year old buddy and his activity. Cheers :)

@ Jordan:
Hi Jordan, thanks for your post. I think you've mistaken Mark as the author of the article. That's ok, I'm sure Mark is very active too about running with his dog. I'm glad Max and I were able to introduce the idea of running with your pet too. 2 kilometres is a great start. Awesome job guys!

@ Patrick:
Hi Patrick, thanks for your comment. I really do appreciate your interest in this activity. I think you have mistaken Mark, who is another visitor, as the author for the article. That's ok :) I think running with your friend's dog, Ringo, is a great idea for you to see the benefits of having a companion to share the joy of living an active lifestyle with. Just don't borrow him too much, or else your friend might get jealous about his/her dog liking you more :P Hope to hear from you soon :)
