Running a half marathon..

[Queen of Poop]

On June 1st I will be running the Calgary half marathon in support of local animal rescue AARCS. Wish me luck and pray for sunshine!

I will pray for sunshine and cool but not cold temperatures! Boston Marathon folks are always much happier running at 60°F than 80°F!

Thanks Karen. I've no trouble with the cold. I run outside all winter. But I hate to run in the rain.

Just completed my last big run before the half marathon next Sunday. Did 11.7 miles in 2 hours. Next Sunday I will strive for 13.1 miles inside of two and a half hours. I'm fundraising for AARCS a local animal rescue. I'm dedicating my run to Lenny, a six month old pup who is recovering from being shot and losing a leg after being hit by a car. He didn't give up and will recover.

God bless you, Gayle! You're fantastic!

I'm sure you'll have a great run and raise lots of money for AARCS and Lenny's care.

Picked up my race package. This is my bib. Looks like I'm going to be just short of my fundraising goal, but have more than I expected.

That would be fun! Pet Talkers running together! Or at least commiserating together! The Dog side and the Cat side will both be represented! :)

Here's my t-shirt, bib and medal. Completed the 21.1 km, 13 miles. My chiropractor has some work to do on my sore hips tomorrow. Best news is that I raised just over $1200 for AARCS.

Thought you all might like to see me crossing the finish line.

[Karen]

Looking good! Was there someone there taking pictures of each person as they crossed?

There were picture takers all over the place. But yes, each was photoed crossing the line.
