I like hunting deer. I donate to and volunteer with animal welfare organizations. I want to get into running marathons. I've never run a half-marathon. I am interested in finding a trainer to help me train for marathons. I don't know anything about Alsatians as a dog breed.
I am immigrant from Scotland.  I have hunted. I foster some hunting dogs. They are Alsatians and are doing great. I like to run half marathons. I don't keep records of my runs, so I am not sure when I last ran a half-marathon. I feel that my house is safer because of my dogs. I take my dogs hunting and they track for me.
I volunteered at a shelter this afternoon and there was an Alsatian there! Really? How cool! How were they? Were they friendly or just super active and spastic? lol! They were really friendly! Say, do you know were I could find a good marathon trainer? I'm not sure, but look google Jeff Galloway. He is kind of the father of the run/walk method of hitting fast times and avoiding injuries. I know that he has very active training groups all around the country.  Cool! I'll be sure to check him out. Have you ever been part of an official, organized marathon? Well, kind of. I've run a bunch of half-marathons and they typically are part of the same group that runs marathons, they just take a separate route. Some races actually have the races on separate days, but most races take place on the same track at the same time, just slightly different routes. Is there something that you want to know? Well, I'm trying to run at least a half-marathon soon. I've been taking runs everyday for about an hour so I can start to get more in shape. I'm also trying to keep better tabs on my diet, since I know that definitely has an effect. Maybe we could run sometime together? Absolutely! I'd love to have a running partner sometimes. Maybe we could do our long runs together on weekend mornings. We could help keep each other motivated and have a lot of fun in the process.  Yeah for sure! Do you sometimes bring you dogs on your runs? I would love to see them in person. Oh yeah. A German Shepherd (I will never understand why they changed the name to Alsatians) can easily do a quick 10 miles and still be ready to play fetch after that! lol!  Wow, I didn't know they were that active! I guess hunting dogs are really active which makes sense. Have your dogs ever saved you from an intruder? I'm not sure, but probably. Anytime that I've been suspicious when they went crazy barking at night, there wasn't anyone outside. I think they're the best burglar alarms in the world.
