Jefferson’s first Blog!

Yes, this is Jefferson, the famous MyNextRace mascot.  Well, don’t ask me how I did this (typing), I would not want to give away any secrets to my four-legged friends out there.   Wait for the book one day and maybe I will divulge more.   Now let’s talk about this 45 and 45 race thing.

This was at the Pride Run 5km, notice who is getting the massage??

So this stupid 45 and 45 birthday thing has finally come to an end.  I get older each year and what do I get…a 90 minute party in the dog park down the street,  while the adults drink hot chocolate, coffee or even stronger stuff so I hear,   I get 7x fewer birthdays!   This birthday party of Peter’s has lasted 12 months!   And did I hear Paris….Miami….New York… …Montreal….London, and some of these were with “other people”!   I got stuck in Brampton, Burlington and Barrie.  Rip off or what?

Yes, I did get dragged to 35 races so far and it looks like the last one coming up is in the country, but I only got to run or paddle in 14 of them!    Watching the tent is so over-rated.  My highlight was in Muskoka, I was in the canoe for the Logs, Rocks and Steel race, and I did the trek / trail run but they tied me to the tent for 4.5hrs while the mtn biking was happening, that sucked!   You can only chew a bone for so long folks.  These idiots kept coming over to pet me like I was some object,  just let me run dammit.   Another highlight was getting on tv again though (CBC Sports in 2007 was the first time, yeah it’s just the local news I know):

But then I heard at one of these runs, while I sat and watched the tent, again, for 2hrs that imposter broke another record using my name!  And got on t.v. to boot!

Boy are my paws in a knot!  My fur is rising here….sometimes the food is worth it, but they cut me off at the last race after just 6 chicken cutlets, so what if two of them were swiped from the owners tables, they ate too slow anyway.    Warrior Dash was an all day affair and I didn’t even get in the mud!   It took me a week to clean all the dust off my fur:

 Now don’t get me wrong, alot of my buds would easily trade a morning at the park or alone in the condo while I get to travel in the car, hang out with jocks and eat more than a few hamburgers, hot dogs fallen on the ground and cold pizza.  Just don’t think I’m not paying attention to this birthday thing…when I turn 10 it better be special!
