Ran with my buddy's lab yesterday. Good company, but definitely slows me down. Anyone else have experience with canine companions?
My pup loves chasing squirrels mid-run, not exactly pace-friendly either.
I've had the pleasure of running with my neighbor's golden retriever a few times. The companionship is wonderful, but yes, it can be a challenge to adjust your pace. For me, it's worth it - the joy on their furry face is infectious! It's also a great way to mix up my routine and add some accountability. Keep running with your buddy's lab - you're not only getting a workout, you're making a new friend!
