Another hot and humid run yesterday at Calvert County's Pet Day 5K. Race was a fundraiser for the Calvert County Humane Association. We left Dino at home but probably should have taken him as there were lots of dogs there, I mean lots! The boys started out not enthused about running this morning. Landon stuck with Grayson and I for a few minutes but then decided that my talking and encouragement to Grayson was not what he wanted and he took off on his own. Finishing just a couple minutes slower than normal for him. |
I was proud of Landon for going off on his own and running his best race. G took a little more motivation today. His back has been bothering him so we walked more than ran. He did sprint down the final stretch. The photographer caught a lovely picture of me encouraging Grayson but unfortunately he was not in the photo and I have t-rex arms! It was my first run after Lasix surgery last week so I guess I needed to take it a little easy too. Solomon's Island running is always great with nice, flat courses. The race was well organized and a slightly different course around the Island than other races that I have run that start at the Calvert Marine Museum. There were cute markers at each mile and two water stops, which are always encouraging points or G. Hoping G feels like running in next weeks race because I really need to start to push myself for some speed. Love these boys! We will be back on Solomon's for the Run for Research next week.
