Hydroactive Challenge

[bluespirit]

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 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 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

Hee - he is totally adorable but such a big old silly too!

Aww! What a love! That's so sweet that he tries to make the kitty feel better. I just fell in love with your boy. ♥

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he does have that affect on people... ♥
Seriously - he's just the sweetest, silliest thing ever!

[jaekayelle.livejournal.com]

I forgot to congratulate you on your run! Yay you! :)

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
I must admit that I was pretty pleased to have run a personal best for this distance. :-)

[betagoddess.livejournal.com]

He's so darned cute! LOL!

Congratulations on another run! Go you! *g*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
I sometimes wonder how it's possible but he actually seems to get cuter! LOL

[betagoddess.livejournal.com]

They DO seem to do that, don't they? One of their most endearing qualities. *g*

[gondorbunny.livejournal.com]

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! :)

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

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*

[foxrafer.livejournal.com]

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!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
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.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

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*

[araestel.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad he's doing better! I've been thinking about him and hoping things were going well.

*hugs and pets*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetheart.
*big hugs for you & Brady*

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*

[rifleman-s.livejournal.com]

Oops! "positively"!! (It's late . . .)

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

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
