Day Three

Today we did about 3 miles - 30:10. We also walked a little, as I don't want to shock my poor little knees by too many consecutive days of heavy exercise.

We ran into the village, then out past where I work, around the little park and over the bridge. Shortly after the big house, we turned around. We went out 17:30, so had we run all the way back home, we would have made about 35 minutes.

There's a kid who walks his puppy sometimes at the same time I am running with Toby. We saw him today. I'm terrified that Toby will eat the puppy but the kid knows (as I've now told him twice) that Toby's not great with little dogs. I did a little reading and apparently this is something that happens a fair bit with German Shepherds, especially ones who aren't socialised well when they're, as we suspect was the case with Toby.

He also needs to be trained out of lunging at cars, as it freaks me out and isn't safe practise anyway. Other than the car issue and the little dogs issue and his fear of water and his overly keen interest in livestock, he's a great running partner.

The weather today was okay - overcast and a little chilly. The wind wasn't too bad but I'm afraid it might be bad tomorrow. But I'll worry about that then.
