I have a dog, but he's a chunk and couldn't run more than half a mile (sadly, much like his momma... lol).<br /><br />You'll have to tell me all about the Garmin. I'm REALLY debating ordering one, and I love that you pointed out Amazon. I buy from there all the time, and you're right - it's a REALLY god deal! Better than anywhere else I've found! I also love the name... I may have to "borrow" it if I buy during the holidays.. : )<br /><br />It makes me so excited to hear you say you look forward to reading my blog. Yay! I love having blog friends. : )<br /><br />Thanks for all the sweet comments and support!Tylyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106902147490350066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-46214313618513101102009-12-02T20:03:36.311-08:002009-12-02T20:03:36.311-08:00Yeah for the Garmin, how fun!

I agree with an earlier comment that if the dogs aren't used to walking/running on a leash or basic dog commands like "heel," you may have a difficult time. However, practice with them on short stretches and be prepared for a little whiplash-like arm-wretching when they stopp suddenly to do their duty. Which is another thing - you need to carry poop bags in SD unless they go way off trail. <br /><br />I'd start by walking them near your parents' home for a week or so, then run and then you'll have a better idea of what to expect and they will have fallen in love with you.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377440606704745517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-11425388177394843702009-12-02T06:34:34.840-08:002009-12-02T06:34:34.840-08:00yeah for the garmin, it does taking the guessing o...yeah for the garmin, it does taking the guessing out of mileage.<br /><br />i am 0 help on the dogs thoughRunToTheFinishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13995696358152941044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-273759039565773392009-12-02T06:09:23.313-08:002009-12-02T06:09:23.313-08:00My dog didn't like bunnies, just the highway a...My dog didn't like bunnies, just the highway and cars.

I have a short leash with a strong metal buckle on it which goes around my waist and then my dog's leash is slid on it. This allows my hands free to run (or break a fall if she's really amped up) and doesn't rip off my arm. There are a few specially made belts for the job, but they all have plastic buckles, which can unclasp easily by a bigger dog.

I can't run with Bandit b/c he's too big and when he chases a bunny it is bad news. But husband does. He uses a hands free leash with 'lunge buster' - look it up online. It really works great for running with a dog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231464198799653331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-77724892673276315822009-12-02T04:47:14.904-08:002009-12-02T04:47:14.904-08:00I love your art work!!!

My parents have a big dog who is not well trained on the leash and although she pulls terribly,she has never pulled me over. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508678801078330932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-35320573066448311592009-12-02T03:19:54.968-08:002009-12-02T03:19:54.968-08:00Yay for the Garmin and the new job and the artwork...Yay for the Garmin and the new job and the artwork!<br /><br />If they aren't already trained to walk on the leash, it might be a bit difficult at first. I have two small terrier dogs who are leash trained, but they will only run short distances (although lots of times it is good motivation to run faster b/c they were walking when I think I am running). I think a large dog is probably better for long distance. I use a regular leash (since they are trained to stay to my right they don't pull). Do you run with a stroller now? I find that it isn't much different than pushing the stroller with the strap around my wrist. I use my hand rather than waiting for the leash to jerk my wrist to turn them (by pressing on the slack part of the leash directing them the way I want them to go).<br /><br />It's certainly worth a try - they don't throw toys or Cheerios out the sides of the stroller!

Now you have the luxury of running wherever you want without pre=planning your route. A helpful charging tip: Let the battery get as discharged as possible before you charge it. I also was lucky in that my cell phone plug fit my Garmin charger, so I can charge it twice as fast. Thanks for an update, along with your fantastic artwork. I'm sure your pre-school students will appreciate your artistic ability. :-)Marathonman101108https://www.blogger.com/profile/01653913024687849329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-21831354477395852602009-12-01T23:59:42.382-08:002009-12-01T23:59:42.382-08:00I just found your blog--good luck with your new jo...I just found your blog--good luck with your new job!
