I ran the Hydroactive Challenge yesterday in Birmingham. This was my 5th year & yet again we had lovely weather!
I'm rather chuffed to have done a PB for the 5K course, finishing in just under 28 minutes. But more importantly, I was running to raise money for The Blue Cross, which is one of the UK's oldest pet charities.
Mr B, my Mom & the fabulous cheerleading [livejournal.com profile] lantean_drift came along with me & we had a great morning. A big thank you to them for their sponsorship & encouragement.

As always, Rascal took charge of my medal... *g*



Here are a few more pics of my beautiful boy, playing with one of his favourite toys - Scary Little Kitty, a present from his Auntie [livejournal.com profile] xanthelj!





action shot! *g*




There's a tale behind the naming of Scary Little Kitty. It makes a 'meeowing' sound when you squeeze its tummy. Well, for some reason this upsets Rask - he seems to think it's hurt & tries to lick it better.
But I can't hide the toy because he absolutely loves it! So we just hope that he doesn't set the noise off & if he does, we have to do lots of reassuring. *g*
Oh, I love him but he's such a big old silly boy! LOL

Wow. Great time on that run! Good for you!

Rask is just the cutest! Those big brown eyes just make you want to eat him up with a spoon! :)

Thank you! Yeah, I was quite pleased with that time. :-)

I know - Rask just has to look at me & I'm wrapped around his paw. *g*

Congrats on the race! And that is one of the cutest pet stories I've ever heard. I can just picture him being all concerned for the kitty and wanting to make it feel better. So sweet!

Yeah, he gets so upset - squeaking under his breath & trying to make Little Kitty better. Bless him! LOL

Awwwwwwwwwwww Rascal looks quite happy with his new medal and orange toy!

*hugs you both*

How goes the treatment? I think the last time we talked at length, Rascal was having some problems.

Thank you!

He's doing a lot better, thanks, sweetheart. The tablets are a pro-active thing to try & strengthen his bladder wall to prevent further infections. *crossed fingers* So far, things have gone really well with him.

*hugs*

Looking as handsome as he does (he looks positivel proud of that medal) I'm sure Rask can be foriven for being a big silly old boy from time to time!

Well done on the run - you always make hard work sound fun!!

*hugs to you all*

Thanks, S!
It's strange (as I was never sporty at school) but I actually like to run. I know I'll never be the next Paula Radcliffe or anything, but it's fun. *g*

Yes, Rask always looks so regal in his medals. Then he's rolling around being silly & definitely not regal at all! LOL
