Million Paws Walk

[zarbie01]

Yesterday I accompanied my dog for the Annual RSPCA Million Paws walk. WE walked around Albert PArk Lake along with 16000 other people and 10000 dogs. The course around the Lake was 5 k and we were parked about 1 k away from the start/finish line, so in all we walked 7k's.
I never thought I could do it. I was never short of breath,only my bones ached. I did the 5k walking briskly and I am so happy that I never had to stop for a rest. I cannot wait to report it to my cardio in 4 weeks time at my 1st valversary.

Cool! What a great-sounding event -- way to go on completing it. I gather this is an Australian event. We need to import it to the USA along with the Fosters and other good Aussie products.

There are many such walks in Canada. The dog rescue that I volunteer with just had their doggie "Walk a thon" this past Saturday. It is a very popular event and raises so much money for the extra surgeries that are required during the year.
Congratulations Zarbie!!

I have heard about these walks and would love to join in...maybe next year I can get a volunteer to help me as we have 2 dogs and I couldnt leave 1 at home while the other one got to have fun.

Glad you had a nice day...hope the weather was good in Melbourne.

Hi Zarbie, thanks for sharing about your race! I remember when you posted last month about it and you were in "training". I'm so glad you were able to finish and even better did'nt even need to stop for a break. We are all winners when we try to do something we think we can't do Take care Debbie
