Looks like we might soon have a new running buddy who would always be ready to go. And he might even be a fierce competitor at races (if things go as Google has planned):

But for now, it looks as if he could need some help navigating. 

I wonder how he would fare on rocky trails, like Massnutten, or Hardrock.

Maybe Sue can lead him through the woods and see if he can avoid the spider webs. 

 

He might be the ideal companion for fun-loving people. Never would get angry or discouraged. 

I might consider using an Atlas, too, every once in a while.
