Edmonton Police Foundation 1/2 Marathon

We just completed our second 1/2 marathon this morning.  Compared to our first it was a breeze.  Although the route was  a lot tougher (climb in and out of the River Valley 3 times each) at least this time we didn’t have to contend with blizzard conditions.  We finished almost 45 minutes faster than we did the Hypothermic half.  I’ve got numb butt and stiff legs but other than that “I feel good”.  I’ve signed up to do a full marathon in August.  I can’t imagine doing today’s race twice to equal a full marathon.  At least it is a goal to shoot for……even if I don’t make it the full 42 kilometres.

Birthday Girls

Once again this year Tango and Hope co-hosted their annual birthday party.  Susan baked special dog friendly cups cakes smothered in “icing”.  Both Tango and Hope had their eyes focused on the same cup cake but when they got the go ahead to start eating, they quickly figure out which one was theirs.

As you can see by Tilly’s chin and her ear (in the picture below)…….everyone thoroughly enjoyed their treat.

Mother Nature’s Cruel Joke

Would you believe that less than 10 hours ago our yard was virtually snow free……look at it now. Mother Nature definitely has a sense of humour.  It is just so beautiful but the heavy, wet snow is causing havoc in Edmonton.  Trees are falling down and taking out power lines all over the city.  I’m glad I have today off so that I could go around the yard and shake/shovel the snow off all my shrubs and trees to prevent them from getting damaged.  The dogs are loving it!!
