Formula One or why Sugar is not a good dog for serious exercise

I do love walking in Albert Park while they are getting ready for the Formula One.  It takes weeks and it is so exciting.  They put up the track and the pedestrian bridges and all of the branding goes everywhere.  It makes me want to run fast.  Or this year...walk fast.

But that doesn't happen when your puppy is a sniffer and has to stop every few feet.  How do people get those dogs that run next to them?   This is definitely not how Sugar rolls.  Walk a few feet. Sniff.

Since being at the track does make me want to be fast, I did try to run for about 1km.  My knees are sore but not painful.  I am happy with that.  It was good to get out. I think I will start my half training in June.
