Check out the chart below. Based on this information I read in Runners World, Ralphie is going to be a great running partner. I'm afraid I'm not going to live up to his expectations though...LOL I will never run a 7 minute mile where the Vizsla excels in according to this chart. But I may be able to satisfy Ralphie with a long, steady run...my longest run so far has been 12 miles, long, slow, and steady.
5 more days before Ralphie comes home!!!
I can't wait!!!
