Jogging

Two days ago I decided to see how well my dog, Griffin, did at jogging. I have not been taking her while I jog in fear that she will pass out on me (she is 13 years old); however she is in relatively good shape for her age. She loved it at first and I couldn't keep up with her. But shortly after her lavish start she began to slow down, going from 10 feet in front of me to beside me and eventually 10 feet behind me. I tried to jog slower so she could be beside me but it was no use. I felt like it would have been borderline abuse if I continued to pull her along.

The new plan is to jog a one mile loop, starting at my house and ending there and picking up Griffin once I am done and walking her for a mile loop or more. Hopefully when I am more accustomed to vigorous exercise I will jog two miles and walk one. YAY!
