Tough couple of weeks....


It's been a stressful time at the Froggy household. Mainly due to our 2 dogs being seriously ill - Toby (age 16) collapsed and was bleeding... he's fully recovered now though and back to wagging his tail. The following week Blue (age 7) had an uncontrollable cough and was struggling for breath - turns out his heart is failing (twice normal size)... we have medicine to keep it under control and he's been given 2-3 years according to the vets. They are both happy now though as they get medicine stuffed in cheese cubes every night :)

Well here we are in all our glory (and a lot of pain in the middle pic!) Thanks to my Garmin GPS watch (early Birthday present!) I was able to pace us to perfection.... we started out a little fast - had to pull in the reigns a little as all the newbs were a little over-zealous !!!! I noticed a few people pulling out before mile 3 with shocked looks on their faces :( ... by the halfway mark we'd managed a very respectable 3hr14m which gave us some breathing room for the 7hr cutoff time. 18 miles was our landmark - we'd not gone further than that in training... we had beaten our previous time by over an hour! I would say the last mile was probably the toughest, longest mile of our lives but the feeling at the finish line was more than overwhelming... yes, there may have been a tear or two! One of the things that motivated both of us was the crowd - hearing your name being called out by complete strangers is a little weird at first, but eventually you start to lean on the great s
