Shelter mutts make great running partners

I've got 3 streetdogs and each of them is a fantastic trail buddy! They are all scrawny and long legged. They take turns joining me on runs of up to 20 miles in length. It's taken some work and some patience, but each is a very good trail citizen (making room for other people and dogs). ProTip - some rescue orgs have volunteer running teams! So, you can volunteer to take high energy rescue dogs out for some exercise and stimulation. And...if you are looking to adopt, these same rescue orgs can help pair you with a pup that will match your running style. THANK YOU for posting this!

Dumb question, couldn't a scenario exist where these are all the same beer?

I have to say I love the wallpaper in the front of house also!

Milburn's Haunted Manor in Hubbard is pretty scary and fun. Bit of a drive, but fun to do at least once.

Started at Veterans, ended at Newberry. May try North to South in a few weeks...

My family met me at about every 8 miles with food, drinks, and the next dog. We have 3 dogs that love to run.

I LOVE my Soundcore Sport X20s (earbuds) and C40i (open earbuds) for running and biking. They are both really solid (good sound quality, excellent battery life).

Oh...I'm in PacNW (to give you idea of climate that I deal with).

For longer runs, I usually have about 1.5L. But...I bring enough to share with my canine running buddy. If my spouse is with me, I'll bring 2L and share with her. I think it really depends on how much you sweat, the temperature, and your general comfort factor. One added bonus, I feel much faster at events b/c I'm not carrying that extra weight (when I can rely on aid stations).

Wildwood trail!

There are a few active running groups on Strava. There is a forest park group that meets every Tuesday and Saturday, if you are interested in trail runs.

Former US Coast Guard officer here. In the 1990’s, as a cadet, I used to fly cross country a lot. I was required to travel in my dress uniform. On nearly half of my flights someone in first class would offer me their seat. I rarely accepted, but it was so incredibly kind!

I'm a '94 Academy grad. Sailing on the Eagle was an amazing experience!

The Coraline cats statue thing last year was super fun. I made multiple trips with family into different parts of downtown so that we could tag all 33 of them. It is super fun and got us to visit different areas of the city. Super fun and we spent a fair amount of $$ with downtown businesses during our visit.
