As much as I can, I love to run with a friend. Running with my friend creates almost a competition and we push each other. It also is enjoyable to have someone with you to talk to and make it more fun! If you are a dog lover, you can run with mans best friend. I have tried running with my dog who is a rambunctous chocolate lab but it did not work out very well. She loves to run fast but does not stay in a straight line. She runs infront of me and stops randomly and pulls in every direction to sniff around. It is actually very dangerous. If you choose to run with your dog make sure he or she is well trained on the leash. Also, some of my friends who run with their dogs also like to carry a doggy bag. It is important to always clean up after your dog so other runners don't accidently run in your dogs poop! Believe me, once you see that wagging tail, you will feel even more motivated out on the trail. Dogs also are always pushing themselves, your dog running partner will definitely push you constantly. Also, a tired dog is always a well behaved dog. When you get home he or she will lay down and sleep for hours! So, get out there and run, grab your dog or friend and tie up those laces!
