I ran twice with Toby before he left, and kept it up after he was gone, then decided to enter a 5k race.
Of course this race had to be AFTER Toby was gone :( So he wouldn't be here to cheer me on.
This race was last Saturday.
With over 180 people running (and walking!) it, I happened to get a prize... a trophy... for second OVERALL female. Yes, I was the SECOND female to cross the finish line!
Toby would have been proud to see me finish and I wish he was still with me, but he has much better things to do!
I'm happy to have won a trophy, since I just started running 2 1/2 weeks ago I was quite surprised!

On a different note, Tracker came over today. We had so much fun playing together! I wonder how long I will be having him over for - a couple more days, another week? Either way, Liberty is LOVING him. He is her new "play buddy" and she waits by the door each morning for me to run over to pick him up!
I'm off to do another race "for" Toby this weekend, wish me luck!

Congratulations on the race. That's really quite amazing - winning a trophy when you'd really just started. I'm quite the runner myself, but I can't say the same for my humans. Oldish, you know. You keep up the good work. It seems you're a natural at running.
Tracker is very cute.

Wow! Congratulations! You just must be a most natural runner. I likes to run but only for short bursts. Then I gots to stop and smell something.
Give cute lil tracker some smoochies from me!

Congratulations! That's a great accomplishment! Did you go home and take a nap after you ran like I do?
That picture of Tracker cracked us up! He looks like he could take flight, but I know he'll grow into those ears eventually!

Congratulations - you did Toby proud ;-)
WOW, you obviously have some natural talent! I think you should look into this running thing more seriously with results like that... :) I used to run long distance competitively as a kid, now my knees bug me...rats...but anyway, I appreciate your achievement! Toby would most definitely be proud. :)
Congratulations! I'm very impressed at your running abilities! My daughter just did her first half-marathon and loved it!

Toby must have been a good trainer :P
Good luck with future races.
Love, Bella.
congrats. I ran my first race last year. It was so much fun. Unfortunately my work schedule doesn't give me time off to run many. I must admit ?I have slacked off a bit on the running, I need to get refocused.
Congrats!!
