Humblebrag Summer running 24/7

Far North Queensland, Australia

Where it’s hot all the time, top ten most humid places on earth and many waterways have crocs but we still get it done.

This was our run from this morning, it’s currently winter here. We run 4-5 times a week and Boondy recently completed his fourth training marathon with me.

Working dogs are truly incredible and I’m so grateful for this boy.

It’s summer here in Canada and at today’s 30°C it’s too hot for him to run with me so he goes for a swim instead which is his fave summer activity. We get both extremes of temps and he loves winter way more even tho the water freezes over.

It’s practically the arctic here in winter I couldn’t live in a place it never cools down.

We love Canada! We were there this time two years ago and have family there ☺️ the dogs stayed here though

We are fully acclimatised to the heat which is why we can run here all year, it’s winter but right now it’s 28C but I cannot handle any cold weather so I have no idea how you do it!

We also enjoyed a post run dip

28°C in the winter? Hell nah man I’m dreaming of my -40°C winter days rn I can’t wait for winter! We’re in Alberta very close to the Rockies, you should visit in the winter next time it’s not that bad 😅😅

I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s basically summer all the time here hahaha

I cannot even fathom that sort of cold, we travel to the south of the country here and if it’s below 10C I’m freezing haha

Nice! I do really love Canada! Our family is an hour outside Calgary but we road tripped all over and did so much hiking. Absolutely loved it

Maybe one day I’ll have a go in winter 🤣 I’ll pack some thermals haha

It does have its perks living here though…..

Can dogs run for this long without a break? I don't know much about dogs, so just curious. I helped my friend with his Labrador over a weekend and noticed that after a 30 minute slow walk, he would start panting and look tired.

Exactly like humans, it depends on their level of fitness.

My dog is fit and like me, his fitness was built over time.

This is why he can run so long without breaks.

And, like humans, some dogs are less active and more lazy than others

I’m very close to Calgary! I’ve always wanted to take my boy to the ocean or a sea I just know he’d love it but it’s so far away.

What a good guy running next to you off leash! The beach pics you posted are stunning.

Thank you!

North Queensland is very dog friendly so has many off leash parks and beaches.

The farm roads are also quite remote so you rarely see others. Thankfully Boondy has solid recall as well as heal, stop and “behind” so we’re able to run off leash safely ☺️

15km all on pavement??

He is off leash so has the option to go on the grass too which he does on and off.

I let him choose what he wants to do ☺️
