Worf's First Run

Took Worf out for a run this morning around the local streets. Both of us unshod. The roads are rough asphalt with plenty of loose rocks. I forgot to look at the time again, so that's a guess.

Worf, Resting
When we took Worf for his last shots we noticed how leash-shy he acted, so this was a good chance for him to practice being on leash. He did really well. Mostly stuck right by my side, rarely pulled. Never barked or really tried taking off after bunnies. When other dogs barked he ignored them. Cars scared him, but there's little traffic on the street. He crowded my legs as we ran past one car parked on the street, but otherwise handled it fine. I think with a bit more practice he'll turn out to be a good running companion. I'll need to get him down to the trail so we can work on passing other people, dogs, and bicyclists.

As far as I can tell at this point my feet handled the rough surface fine. Nice short run, a bit misty at times but not really rainy. Solid cloud cover and 59° F degrees.
