run around the square

WE DID IT !  
For me, it was my first 5 km run event.

this was my number bib thing.   actually, only the kids ran around the square.... ours was a course around town that started on the square ( it isnt really a square either.  its an octagon, but still you go around the "square") ...town square i guess....

the kids run was first.  they were awesome 

we thought number 70 looked like forest gump (when he was runnin-G)

i liked the guy with the gun

time to run.......
 
theres our finishing medals wooo !

and there we are.....3 pooches holding the olympic torch.  a local woman had been running with this in beijing.
we got breakfast and prizes and matching t-shirts.  cant beat that

"All proceeds from the event go to the Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund, a Provincial Charity which promotes and donates defibrillators in the name of fallen Law Enforcement, Fire, Emergency and Military persons killed in the line of duty".

here is a link to the event




i didnt have the best finish time,
AND, i did finish
most important, it was fun and that leaves much room for improvement.

the next one is june 13 :)

~ all for now... pooch mg

  3. Well done, Pooch!!!
    And as you say, the important thing isn´t getting the best time, it´s the fun that matters, and not least, the cause!!!

    (I agree, the No 70, looks like Forest Gump, haha).

    Have a wonderful day!
