Donut Dash and the PNE

We took part in the Second Annual PNE Donut Dash this year. This was our second time doing this run. I think it would be neat if we could continue it as a family for the next several years and be able to say we've done every one. The run is a pretty good deal compared to some other runs. For your entrance fee you get a 5k run, a t-shirt, a finisher's medal, donuts and entrance to the PNE for the day. The entrance fee alone is around $20 so compared to other races for a similar price it's well worth it. 

We had also purchased ticket's for Gub and Gampoo however they weren't up for a run so they went to Starbuck's instead and cheered us on at the finish line. Carter had a bit of an incident last year where he got tired half way and decided to blame it on the time we had spent warming up. For all races since that time he now refuses to do any of the warm up exercises. We still have to work on our 5k times but there are so many 5k races in the lower mainland it's easy to get practice in. We're looking to do the Star Wars 10k in a couple years at Disneyland so these runs are perfect warm ups. The weather on this day was perfect for the PNE and we did our usual tour of the food booths and a trip to the Super Dogs. Barb and Reg hadn't been for several years and I think they really enjoyed watching the dogs. Callie of course loves petting the dogs at the end of the show. We are usually some of the last to leave as she tries to get to everyone of them.
