Greyhounds, Running, Health Welcome to Ginny's Homepage Go to bottom. Greyhounds have traditionally been noted for their grace, speed, and agility. They are a breed that has been around for thousands of years, and greyhound aficianados have included the Egyptian pharoahs, Alexander the Great, Queen Elizabeth, and Gen. George Custer. Nevertheless, in present times these magnificent creatures have been subjected to unspeakable conditions in the interest of making a buck. Recently, the public has become more aware of their plight as inhumanely treated beings, and rescue associations have begun remedying the situation by fostering ex-racers' adoptions by sympathetic dog lovers.
Greyhounds are inspirational for their gentle nature, yet incredible gift of speed.
As a runner, my greyhound is my inspiration. Running is a passion of mine in terms of fitness and overall stress reduction. I never feel as great as I do when I'm running. I'm convinced that greyhounds feel the same, because one can see their joy as they run. Learning Sites Library Email Me Background image provided by NetCreators .
