Running with the Dogs

I have taken up jogging again. Been quite a long time since I have last exercised regularly. Still I needed to lose 20 kilos so I have finally managed to talk myself into going jogging.

There's a waterways very near to my apartment. I am not sure it is called a waterways but it is directly under the freeway and there is a canal with running water. There are paths on both sides so that people who want to walk, jog or bike can do so.

Yesterday when I started my jogging I met this huge dog. really, really huge. His owner was almost dwarfed by the sheer size of this dog. I think it was a saint bernard but I am not sure. I don't know much about dogs. But i think it was a saint bernard because I remember this one cartoon which portrayed a saint bernard dog was and this one looked pretty much like the one in that cartoon. Anyways I was talking about how huge it was. I started jogging on the other side as I did not want this dog to come after me.

Probably it's size would not have been that much noticeable except for the fact that as I was finishing my jogging I came up the smaller version of it. I think everyone has seen those small dogs that celberities like Paris Hilton is always carrying around. So this extremely small dog came running up to me and sniffing around my shoes. It's owner kept calling to it and it finally decided to go back to the owner after thoroughly inspecting my shoes and deciding there was nothing interesting about them. I asked the owner if it was a chihuahua but he replied that it was a miniature dachshund or something like that. I was too tired to really care.

So all in all I managed to burn some fat (which I probably have already put back on) and I saw two dogs of the oppposite sides of the size chart. Not bad for an hour of sweating.
