a new running partner

I still live with my parents. They are easy to live with, and it's free. I'm saving up money, and they are decent with letting me be out when I want to be out- no questions asked. 

When I was about 13, I decided we needed another dog - needless to say, over the years we've acquired 3 labrador retrievers. Andy is 13 now, he is black. Amos is 12 now and he is also black. Abby is my girl, she is 5 and is a beautiful yellow. She is wild and spunky and loves to take care of Andy. She is my dinner time partner and goes every where I go. So, I've been wondering about making her a possible running partner. 

I've never really run with a dog before and I'm not exactly sure where to start. But she is full of energy and needs to get it all out. Any advice would be welcome. I'm imagining I'd need to start somewhere small, maybe at the end of a short run for me, take her out for a little spin and work up from there.  Hopefully, we continue to make a good team : - )
