"After a day on the lam, Boogie Butts of Evansville, Ind., was apprehended Saturday after he sneaked onto a half-marathon course and led authorities on a 13-mile chase among 2,000 race participants.
However, in an interesting twist, Butts was awarded with a medal for finishing the race after he was released to his family on Monday."
See, see, see, this is why finishers medals have no meaning.

I saw this and laughed. I think this was the HM Andrea did.

Drink up moho's!!
He only did 13 miles though, I say he has to forfeit the finishers medal since he did not start it correctly.

He ran a 2:15! That it awesome.

It would be even worse if he was wearing headphones.

Gun time! ...if he had a chip........

Where does the 2:15 place him in age-graded time?
In dog years?
And I assume with no fuel either!

Actually supposedly he started with the runners around mile 3-4 so he didn't do 13 but ran maybe 10 and I still beat him! I'd have to say not bad for an 8 year old lab, 100 lbs and supposedly hardly ever exercises, most labs I see are fat and lazy. Of course this guy got clipped after the race apparently..... but I am pro neuter/spray.

Nice. My dog pushed open the back window of my truck yesterday and decided to run around inside Meijers. All she got was a cookie and I received stern looks from onlookers.
Well done! Now, was it goal A, B or C?

Boogie died of a heart attack Wednesday morning, being an 8 year old lab, 100 lbs and apparently not exactly active I wondered if that distance was going to hurt him. He looked a bit overweight in some of his pictures, I am sure my boy Rocky could do 13 miles right now with a bunch of people but I know it would not be good for his health yet, he's only up to 4 miles. RIP Boogie
