Such a huge accomplishment! My granddog was a Westie and she was such a princess! When we'd take her to the dog park she'd tiptoe over to the grass and when the grass ended and the gravel began, she'd sit down and wait for someone to carry her. She would have LOVED that stroller!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13760897671143549963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-24088838324073132252017-04-03T21:10:10.777-04:002017-04-03T21:10:10.777-04:00Oh my!

That's discouraging, to say the least, but thank goodness you had Ricky there with you to help you make the best of a bad situation.

He just likes to be wherever we are, so this is the easiest way.<br /><br />As much as I love ice cream and smoothies, and other soft foods, I think I would be a nightmare after no real solids in a week+.

The second part where you guys walked hand in hand sounds so nice.

You're a real trooper for completing the race and much, much braver than me. :D I love the house with the flower yard. There used to be a home I drove by routinely that had a side yard full of beautiful sunflowers. I loved it when they were bloom, but they sadly got rid of them a few years back. Broke my heart.

I commend you for even trying! I don't even run on my good days lol. Even though you walked a lot of the way it sounds interesting to see the race from a different perspective and just taking in all the scenery. How crazy is that house with the flower yard?! You're right, I'm sure it's so pretty for those few weeks and then just odd after. I really hope you feel better soon! <a href="http://www.beautifullycandid.com" rel="nofollow">Beautifully Candid</a>Beautifully Candidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09680801019984009104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-3488592587098130132017-04-03T10:10:21.424-04:002017-04-03T10:10:21.424-04:00Oh - I was wondering how you did and if your denta...Oh - I was wondering how you did and if your dental issues/pain would be gone. I'm so with you though - I hate that race. I don't mind the distance but I hate the actual route. Iroquois mountain in the middle and the Mt. Everest-sized overpass right at the end when you just want it to be over with. Blah. I hope you'll be feeling better soon for the rest of your training and for the half! My daughter got braces last week and she's been living off of smoothies and Panera soup (we found out Target carries them!). Hang in there and know that you are so blessed to have a Ricky in your life! :) Many runners I know don't have that support/encouragement.Elizabeth - No Lazy Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11850346132248360959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-81954406154935619322017-04-03T08:49:45.582-04:002017-04-03T08:49:45.582-04:00Ricky is such an amazing cheerleader for you - wha...Ricky is such an amazing cheerleader for you - what a great support that man is for you!!
