Personal bests: Army Run 2009
Capt Mike and I were both successful in achieving personal bests for our respective runs yesterday in Ottawa. I managed to complete the 5 K in just under 30 minutes (29:53 Clock, 28:39 chip) and Capt Mike ran 21.1 km in 1:36:02 (1:35:50 chip). That's at the ridiculously quick average pace of 4:34 per kilometre. I think I could run exactly 100 m that fast...I'd have to be carried the remaining 21 K!
It was a fun-filled weekend all 'round. Dexter and Zeppelin are also wrapping up a weekend away. I am picking them up from the kennel this morning at 9 am. Winstead Farms, in Bloomfield, is run by a former K9 unit officer, and is a converted horse farm that boasts a 7200 sq. ft. arena in which your dogs get three free-run, high-energy play sessions each day. Dexter and Zeppelin are sharing a heated room (a converted stable with cushion flooring) for the low, low price of $30 per night. It sounded good to us humans. We'll see when The Boys get home if they'll give it their stamp of approval by not leaving us any surprises in the basement.

Update: Dexter and Zeppelin give Winstead Farms the D&Z Stamp of Approval.

Congratulations to you both! Great times! Wow... sounds like Dex and zepplin got quite the royal treatment (nothing less than what they'd get at home, of course!). Be careful... if you let them stay there too often, they might not wanna come home!
