Welcome to my dogblog! I'm a resident of Lexington, MA who likes to run for fun and exercise. A few years ago, my family adopted a retired racing greyhound, Tasha, who has become my four-legged running partner. We like to go out and hit the road a few times a week, so I thought it would be fun to record where we go and what we do. And just maybe one of my fellow runners will consider adopting one of these wonderful dogs too.
If there's anyone else out there with a four-legged running partner, I'd love to hear from you!
So, about this morning's run. It got warm and humid overnight, so we decided to keep it on the short side -- only about 2.5 miles. I call this path "Back Boardwalk by Bridge." It starts on School Street, goes over the Mass Ave hill, down by the bandshell to Worthen Road, then on the boardwalk behind Lincoln Field, pop out on the bike path by Bridge School, head towards Lincoln Street and then back to School. One reason I like this trail is that the path behind Lincoln Field is very shady which helps with the heat. We had only one encounter with another dog -- an aggressive terrier which we met on the boardwalk where there was the least room to maneuver (of course!). But I pulled the leash up close and Tasha kept her cool as we carefully walked by. In our home stretch on School Street, we waved at a policeman parked in his car, probably catching speeders. (Fear not -- we weren't going fast enough to get a ticket!)
I've included a photo of Tasha and me above. If you see us on the sidewalk, say hi!
