I can relate, but I used to run with a 140 pound Cane Corso. We used to walk out Yorkie 3-4 miles when she was young and in AZ. Now she goes for a mile walk a day. She walks a block, gets carried for 4 blocks, walks a block, gets carried....

Becareful running them. Their little leg bones at 5 pounds are like chicken wing bones, except smaller. Be alert to the first signs of limping, peeing blood, and lethargy. Have you ever had their hips and leg's X-Rayed? Wish I coulr tun that far! Now I get tired driving the distance of a marathon.
