The Best Training Partner

Over the last 16 years Gucci has been my training partner.  We have trained for marathons and 5K's.  Most of the training was done at our favorite spot, Sugar Creek Reserve.  Below is a picture of Gucci at his last time at Sugar Creek. It was on his 16th birthday, February 20.  He walked very slowly around the 1/4 mile paved path for the handicapped.

Gucci also ran along side, on the leash, when I biked.  I could even go 13 mph  and he would be running in full stride, easily, at my side.  As I eventually could no longer run myself, we walked together in the park.  He was the best training partner ever.  Over the 16 years I bet we averaged 3 days a week running or walking at Sugar Creek!

Gucci had another good day.  It was beautiful and he spent a good portion of it outside.  He was out with Jane when I returned in the car from the gym.  He saw me in the car and walked over to the deck to wait for me.  I spoke to his doctor today and confirmed that he is doing well and reordered his medicine.  The Summer Of Gucci continues!
