What is your favorite running “thing”? Something that you either HAVE to have for every run or race, or something you don’t always have or use, but look forward to eating/using/wearing before, during or after a run. Maybe it completely changed your running, or is something you just really like. It can be something you wear, something you eat, something you use (in reality or digitally), etc, but it has to be a thing.
My favorite running "thing" is my Border collie, CB. The past few weeks we've logged well over 50 miles on the lakefront (I think he needs a daily mile account to keep track). He now has his own Daily Mile account. I love his enthusiasm- he is ALWAYS ready for a run. He trots along on the path, prances like a deer in the grass, jumps up on the higher wall portions to be closer to my height around the Shedd Aquarium, and !SQUIRREL! sprints to chase squirrels or pigeons (he knows better than to mess with the Canadian Geese).
Running with him the last few weeks has given me so much happiness that I'm constantly thinking about our next run together- i'm sure he is thinking the same.
CB is my "Favorite Running Thing."
CB is my happy runner dog.
