10M Race Goes Thru

The Richmond Road Runners had their Capitol 10M Race this morning. According to the website, the course was “designed by runners for runners”, which is great, except they neglected to tell anyone in the neighborhood, even after the course changed. Oregon Hill is used to these kind of events and sometimes even enjoys hosting them, but a little respect goes a long way.

Since they were without the Royal protection and the runners were really slacking as they came down Laurel Street, I decided to briefly join the race and add “a little motivation”:

(Seriously, I was never within 40 feet of these runners to keep her from lovingly licking their sweat off. The dog did quietly enjoyed the quarter of a block run. Did I mention there are some pit bull awareness events coming up?)
