I have been running consistently 5 (sometimes 6) days a week since January and have to say that my dog Hershey is a great running companion and motivator. I have been increasing my mileage and am now up to 5 miles a day, which my dog runs right along with me and he enjoys our daily run. He has yet to show me he can't keep up with me. This is my great running companion!
Do you have a running companion that keeps you going?

I have a companion, but he doesn't run He prefers long walks and an occasional run up the driveway to get his treat after his good walk! His name is Fred and he's a 5 year old beagle LOVE him so much!
Your dog is beautiful!0 -
Right now I am running on a treadmill, but am hoping to move to outdoors soon. My companion will be one of my Golden Retrievers. His name is Danny and he is my buddy. Wherever I am, he is.
Here he is before a hike up at the lake (hunting season).

On the treadmill it's Phineas and Ferb. Which I've been watching the entire series streamed via Netflix for awhile now.
On the trail it's Nathan, my hydration belt. (it's the brand name, I swear I didn't really name my hydration belt)
I much prefer to run alone so I never have to worry about stopping, starting, slowing, etc to someone else's needs/pace. Though, if I had a dog, I'd definitely enjoy taking it for walks on the same trail I run on. There are tons of dogs being walked there all the time and a dog park around the 4mile mark from where I start. It's always fun to see all the dogs while I'm out.0 -

I run with my daughters ipod and Carli from runningintoshape.com. I like her music so follow her podcasts for C25K The kids can't keep up and I think I would slow someone else down.0

I would love to run with my dog, but at 14 (almost 15) years old he is not moving that well. Usually a single round the block walk is all he is able to do. Last time I took him for a longer walk (about 1.5 miles), he stopped moving. Literally, just stopped and laid down. I had to carry him the rest of the way home.0

I run with my boxer, Tabatha (in my avatar) and a work buddy Marie. Tabatha is the energizer bunny. We ran 10 miles on Sunday, and when we got back and I could barely walk, she could have totally gone and done it again. :laugh:0

Most of the time I run by myself and actually enjoy the solitude.
For a while my son was running with me but teenage boys don't make reliable running partners when it involves getting out of bed early - I have to give him credit, though, for boosting my confidence. It when I was running with him I did my first ever sub 30 min 5k.0 -

I missed this yesterday. He turned 5 in October. He started going gray at 4.
When he came to me as a foster, he was 5 months old and in congestive heart failure due to two congenital heart defects. The vet school corrected the one defect which then eased the pressure of the other heart defect. He is considered as good as if he never had an issue.0 -
I run with KID ROCK!!!! I'm not even a big fan but he keeps me going!0
