The Big Race!











Lovey & Honey had their race recently and did well, all things considered. The week prior, they both came down with a touch of the flu and had fevers and were exhausted all week. Neither of them got a single practice run in before the race. Twice that week Honey was in bed by 6pm! We weren't even sure they'd feel well enough to enter.

The morning of the race, they managed to get out of bed and get dressed and once they were fully awake, they were excited to go. Sweetie was holding firm on not participating so everything was normal :)))

Honey didn't get a new PB but when she started practicing, she'd hoped to be able to finish in under 7 minutes and she achieved that and was happy. Lovey hadn't gotten many practice runs in so hadn't set much in the way of a goal and was pleased with her medal haul! Hopefully they'll be in better health for next year's event!

Even with being under the weather, all my runners placed in their age categories and came home with trophies which was pretty exciting for everyone!
