Running is a very meditative experience. I run my dogs every day.
I run with my dogs as well. Dogs in the US are often treated as family members. I know that I treat mine like a king
haha yes indeedy, I have a king and a queen myself, Florida is the worst for dog walks this time of year, SO MUCH MUD!
I live in the city so we don't have to much mud, but we see every other dog in the dog park so that can get annoying sometimes. My dog can tell when its time to go just by the way I talk to it which is nice. 
It's so nice! You could say just about anything and that tone and they're 100% on board. I do a lot of hill running in my Vibram shoes, really tuckers the dogs out
Thats awesome. I wish I could do that, we will go running around the central park  and then to the dog park so he can run around freely. 
I wish I had a nice dog park in my area. Ours is about half an hour away, hopefully one day, we will get one in our neighborhood
When I get a house I just plan to have a big fenced in yard for him to play around. I think off the leach areas are becoming more popular.  
That's the dream for my wife and I too, they gotta have a lot of area to run around and I don't want to have to worry about keeping check of them on a leash. Dogs should be able to be dogs like they want to.
I completely agree, A little training so they will listen and then just let them be. A leash should just be there for safety.
