Another Half-M

[bluespirit]

Registration opened yesterday morning at 9am for the Royal Parks Half Marathon in London this October.
After three & a half hours of frustration & the site constantly crashing due to the huge numbers trying to get a place, I was finally able to get places for me & Mr B!
We decided to run this race as all our attempts at getting places in the London Marathon have so far failed & we really liked the idea of doing a 'big' race like this around the gorgeous sights of London.
The route starts in Hyde Park & goes past the Houses of Parliament, along the Embankment up to Blackfriars, through Admirality Arch, down the Mall, past Buckingham Palace & through the Wellington Arch, back into Hyde Park past Marble Arch, into Kensington Park, past Kensington Palace & the Royal Albert Hall before finishing back in Hyde Park. It sounds amazing & should be loads of fun!

We're hoping to run this race to raise money for Labrador Rescue South East & Central - the rescue organisation we got our beautiful Buddy from! ♥

That sounds like a neat run! Although isn't the air quality in London pretty bad? I should think that would make running difficult, if so.

That picture just begs for a funny caption, too bad I can't come up with one.

I'm going to start converting your fic for Kindle (apparently you gave permission previously?) and was wondering: is the McShep memories on Starshinedreams all of your McShep fics? Or should I use the tags instead?

That's awesome. Hope it's fun (and it doesn't rain).

I’m curious – and this is probably just plain ignorance,stupidity,etc. – but are there different kinds of Labradors? Buddy looks different than any labs I’ve ever seen before. Is there a difference between the European and USA variety?

Oh that's great news - I know you were both disappointed about the London Marathon, but actually this sounds a much nicer route!!

Will you be setting up a sponsorship page nearer the time? Hope so, or I'll make a donation direct to the LRSC&E.

*hugs*

OMG! I know Buddy is a lab, but I had NO IDEA he was so BIG! Holy cow that dog is a monster :) lol
A big shiny beautiful monster :)
He makes Kane look little and he's a pitt bull/bull mastiff mix.
But buddy is super cute!
