Who needs a gym when you have a lab?

And I'm not talking about a scientific lab where some magic weight loss pill is created. Nope! I'm talking about the type of the lab with a triangle shaped head, way too much fur, and an unmatched level of energy. Some people spend $40.00 a month on a gym membership, but I choose to spend that on dog food. And in exchange I not only get fit with an ever-ready work out partner, but also a face full of slobbery-wet kisses and unconditional love.

"But I just don't feel motivated!" "It's too hot. "Its too cold." "I've had a tough day."  We've all used these excuses a million times. My lab, Ellie, she just doesn't care. She waits by the door everyday with a look that says, "Can we go now dad? Huh dad? Can we?" She's like the mail:  Neither rain nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night... Ellie must go out and run! And how could anyone turn down this face?

So if boring treadmill runs, over crowded gyms, and waning desire have got you down? Go to a "lab" for motivation, man's best friend and running partner.
