Calorie Burn
Do you burn more calories when you have opposing forces working? Such as trying to run while at the same time trying to restrain my running coach from dragging me down the road? I must be burning more calories because it is definitely harder running with Blue than without. At least until the point where he's content to just run along my side, which usually doesn't occur until mile 4 or 5, otherwise he takes his motivational job quite seriously. Today seemed especially hard on my joints. I didn't have to worry about cutting my run short because I got up late and had limited time anyways. Probably for the best so that I didn't push it too much. It's a Monday, that's all I need to say.

I wish I had the time and was closer to you so I could participate with you and Blue! Sounds like he has enough motivation for the both of us! ~Vickey
ReplyDeleteHave you tried a Gentle Leader? It will change your life in magical ways. Waiting for Larkin to get big enough to wear one - it's the best $25 I've ever spent on a pup.
ReplyDeleteI remember trying to run with a jogging stroller. Also adding to the calorie burn in my opinion! When your run finally comes, it will be a piece of cake...unless your planning on taking Blue. Good job today and take your antioxidants! Deb B.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have tried the Gentle Leader. Did that when Blue was younger. He didn't care for it too much and it didn't really make a difference. Funny to think back on when he was a puppy. He didn't like to go for walks for quite a long time. He is actually really good on a walk, he just likes to kick it into high gear when I start to run.
