A girl and her dog

This morning I decided to forgo my long group run with  girlfriends to take Kaiser out on a 9 mile run.  Just he and I set out on my favorite Wenatchee run....the irrigation canal.  I can off leash him, he runs just ahead of me, but always checking back and stopping at the streets.  It's on these runs I am reminded why I have a dog.  There's something so calming about running with a dog early morning, the family is asleep, theres little traffic out, no hurry to be anywhere, it just goodness for the soul!
