[nagdu] Guide dogs in gyms was RE: Just some thoughts

[d m gina]

OK i can't answer all questions, so just read from here.
I got a message today that I went over my five trying to answer questions.

We did get to the YMCA today.
They were so kind to let me walk with him on the track.
One day you go clock wise the next day you go counter.
He wanted to be in the center, if walking you stay near the rail, we 
will work on this.
If running wich will not happen you stay on the outside.
If you walk around the track 17 times this is a mile.
We did it three.
I could tell when he was getting tired.
I spoke to a friend on how to help him out.
So he wouldn't get board easy.
We will slowly build him up.
It was a fun day, where we will try again tomorrow.
