Another Half-M

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! ♥

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!

I know! He's the biggest Lab I've ever seen - whenever we meet other Labs he always towers over them. *g* People always comment on him - they also tend to ask how we keep him so slim too. I could make a fortune writing 'The Buddy Plan' diet book for dogs! LOL (Not really - it's just healthy food & lots of exercise! *g*)
Rascal was a big Lab but even he wasn't the size of Bud!
Of course he's also a great big silly, softie of a boy. ♥

*cuddles for Kane*
