My love for my dog is so great that I got my sore, exhausted ass up early last Sunday morning to bring her to walk the one mile race of the WalkRunWag 5K9! If it wasn’t for Ali, my booty would’ve stayed in bed alllllll day! How can you resist this face,though!?

I always wonder what she’s thinking….so deep in thought, that pug.

Ali would be SO embarrassed if she knew I posted this pic, but they say bet on the dog that pees (or poops) before the race, right!??

She loved her new “pug stroller”!

We ran into Rigo and Megan, so Rigo and Ali decided to discuss race strategies. Rigo completed his first 5K with his Mama-congrats you two!

Ali’s two new friends Wiggles and Jiggles introducing themselves

This has to be one of my favorite pictures of her in a long time. It’s so funny! Does anyone have a good caption for it? I captioned it with “We’re going to do WHAT?!” on Instagram last week. HeeHee

We saw this cutie along the race course

Here’s another pic from along the race course

The infamous plastic fire hydrants at the finish

I forget his name, but he was wearing a Broncos collar-Go Peyton Manning!

I’m looking all gangsta in my dog paw headband

Mommy, I think it’s time for a nap!!

Ali and I got videotaped by the guy on rollerblades because he just loved her little stroller! He said he video would definitely make the website, so I’m keeping my eye out for it and will let you know if it does.

This is our second year doing this, and it’s so much fun!  We saw a couple of good friends-one two and one four-legged, that we hadn’t seen in a long time. We really missed them, and it was great to see them! You know who you are .  We are hoping to keep doing this race if it continues to come back to Tempe and everything works out. You should really check it out if you have a dog!

Happy Trails!
