    “My best running tips: outsource your motivation to a buddy with no respect for your excuses, then bribe yourself afterward. Mine happens to be a very enthusiastic four-legged friend who's helped me become a reluctant trail runner. Post run coffee for me, treats for her, and we're both better off for it. Also: trails over pavement helps Tip 2: Many shelters have programs where you can take dogs out on “adventures,” if you’re looking for a solid running companion”

    “Running buddies rule!! I have two running buddies: 1) my dog Miley, who maxes out at about 3 km and takes a leisurely pace; 2) my sister @Emma Curle who forces me to run fast for long distances 😭 Both force me to run and be happy about it lol”
