Brent's 3rd Annual K9 Candy Cane 5K Fun Run

Pre-race picture

Brent completed his annual 5K race this morning.... in the rain! Brent has been training since October to knock his time down - this event not having to worry about a dog stopping short of the finish line (or pooping mid-race). Diesel, age 8, has retired from racing and unfortunately Oscar has other issues preventing him from running - he hates new people. Too bad really - he is quite an athlete.

Brent started a little behind the first mass of people, but kept a good pace - he said no one passed him.

We ran in to the gym to get out of the rain and stay semi-warm. Kade fell asleep in his stroller - all cozy in his blankets. I knew what time Brent had completed the race last year, so I knew about what time to head back outside to see Brent finish..... however, I had a feeling he would be a lot sooner than that!

Sure enough, Brent crushed last year's record.

He completed the race, 27th overall, in 24 minutes 41 seconds - 4th in his age division. He shaved off over 2 1/2 minutes from last year's time. Yay Brent!! :)

So proud of you! Husky was happy too that he didn't have to run, but still came along to say hello to all the other canines!
