Switching things up

 Today dawned with mild temps and bright sunshine.  As I mentioned, I have had the goal to get the dogs up to half marathon distance.  But when Marc told me he was taking his gravel bike to ride a local trail, I decided to take the dogs and run on the same trail.

Now let me tell you about trail running.  I suck at it.  I typically fall at least once during the run.  

But I asked myself what the dogs would most like to do and the trail it was.

We ran the trails and the boys were able to be off leash for a lot of it, sniffing all the smells and exploring.  They had a great time.

Towards the end we were able to get down to the water for a drink and to cool off.  

Tonight they are exhausted.  Even though the milage was less, their minds were so engaged, it tired them out!
