Dali and I hearby challenge any other K-9 to a 5K on September 12th!

Even though she may have short legs and floppy ears...Dali thinks she is the fastest dog with a BT owner.  So prove her wrong.

Go to www.hotlipshustle5k.com and sign up.

All proceeds help fund The Smile Train, an organizatino that performs life changeing surgeries on children wth cleft lip/palate.

can you pick up your dog and run with it..you know, like you stole it?

if that's the case, i'll have to borrow my wife's dachshund...if not, then my Chesapeake Bay Retriever may have to get some 5K training in...

I love dog runs! I would do this one in  a heartbeat if I wasn't signed up for Tugaloo.  We're planning for the Dog Jog in October, though....

C'mon, my dog's name is Kaydence.  She was born to run.  Although, she may need something to chase.  Will they have one of those rabbits like they do at the dog track?

Is it dog/owner team that's racing?  Cuz if I'm there, I'll just slow Strega down.  Ah lot.  On the other hand, if it's just the dog...  or even dog chasing bike...  mine wins.

I'm fairly certain that my Ridgeback could outrun all the dogs.  The issue is her owner is not that fast!

Hmm, my husky is a tad out shape--not having run all summer but I know she can maintain the 8:30's for 20 milers in the past. Surely she can suck it up for a 5k and sprint it. Question will be more if I can after all these higher mileage weeks I've been clocking. I do need to do a race. . .

Oh this is right around the corner from my house. Maybe I'll just make it part of my long run next week and run to the start and then back home after.  hmmm.....

Got it mapped out! Little over 6 to the start, 3.1 race then a little over 4 home that I could make longer. Cool! Hope puppy girl can hang. She does not run well when it gets warm.

My dog is a pug and might be the only creature on this Earth that I can run faster than. I guess I'll have to pass on this race.

Ok, this race is the same day I'm starting Strega-do in agility classes.  I should be able to run the 5K and still get to his class on time.  He'd be so excited with everyone else running that, as with every group run we've done, he'd be pulling me trying to get to the front.  Might as well wear down some of his overzealous energy before class.  Ain't like a 5K is too much distance for him, he's been doing more than that with me all week and looking for more.

Karen, I have no doubt he could outrun your ridgebackTongue out  Not that I'm biased or anything.  I just don't know if I can outrun you.

Our Border Collie would herd your Ridgeback into submission and then go catch the leaders...;-

Going to let Beth know about this event - it would be perfect for her and Chess...

Not that I would cheat or anything...but if you happen to find Peanut Butter treats spread out along the course...it wasn't me!

I happen to own the only dog on the planet that does't like Peanut Butter.  So her short legs are going to need the help...it's looking like.

We started our first day of 5K training this morning!  Look out you guys.  1.2 miles in 10:23.  Now we just have to work on cutting out those sniff breaks.

LOL... This was my first 5K ever. I will be there for the fourth year in a row. Not bringing my dogs though, cause they would collapse and die after the first 100 meters :-)

It's a great little course. Out and back. Flat and fast.... Great cause too!

The only option I would have is to pick her up and carry her. I don't think she would make the entire 5K.

That's faster than me!  I'm staying home!  Don't want to get beat by a dog with 12" legs!

Please, Ridgebacks hold lions at bay.  And Harper's nickname is legs.  She's speedy fast!

I have a picture of her in my album, and if I could figure out how to post a picture that isn't huge, I'd put it on here too.

I think if you added up all 4 of her legs it might come up to 12".  She's a shorty...but a cutie.

Please Karen, holding lions at bay doesn't equal to running, especially if you don't take them running with you regularly!  Strega does all the miles I do with few exceptions, including training for ultra-distances and sometimes gets some speed-work when I let him off leash to chase me on my mountain bike on the Pinhoti.  He's got speed and stamina licked, and he said to tell your Ridgeback he can run a 5K uphill pulling me on a bike and still winWink


(hey, I'm slow, I gotta use my dog to get away with smack talk!)

I happen to own the only dog on the planet that does't like Peanut Butter.


She can hang out with my only cat on the planet that doesn't like tunafish.. comes running every time I open a can, stands their screaming, put some on the floor for her,  and walks away..

This would be awesome to do my dog loves to run but is a terror running on the leash right now. That and I'm just finishing up my PT and back barely running don't want to hurt myself 3 weeks out of my first tri.

Running with her is one of the things I plan to start on as soon as I am set running by myself again.
