You go girls!

Above is a picture of me (on left), my *sigh* brother Riley, and my dad 2b on our way to watch the U.S.A. Women's Olympic marathon trials (oh so) early yesterday morning.  It was a beautiful day in our home city so we were pleased to get off the couch and get outside.

On our walk there we ran into this verrry scary lizard like creature...do not fret...I barked at it and it retreated:

Here is a picture of us watching the trials...don't tell mom but we had just finished rolling in some dead thing in the leaves prior to this photo!



We met some new friends too!



This is the favorite, Deena Kastor, who will represent the USA in Beijing this year.  By the way she has a chocolate labrador who trains with her in Mammoth, California:




After the trials the three of us helped support mom during her 20 mile run.  She ran along the Boston Marathon course - I think she just wanted to make sure that it was okay for the 25 000 runners that will be running on the course today.

After a long and exciting day my *sigh* brother Riley and I came home and zzzzzzzzzzzz.....
