Brownie Troop 771 was our first tour group of 2019! These energetic group of mostly second graders was able to see a behind-the-scenes view of Barnside Veterinary Hospital. 

Great thanks to my friends who accompanied me on my quest, my family who came to cheer me on "win or lose", my staff who held down the fort when I was gone, and my clients who were so nice to my relief vet and understanding of our reduced hours that week.

In what's appropriately called The Dopey Challenge:
I ran a 5k on Thursday, a 10k on Friday, a half marathon on Saturday and most of a full marathon on Sunday.  Unfortunately, I came up lame in my heel at mile 5, and gimped along until mile 23.5, until my knee decided it was tired of compensating.

I dropped out after running 45.5 out of 48.6 miles. Disappointed? Not really. I gave it my all and had absolutely the most fun ever!  Family, friends, fellow runners, Disney cast members.  I met so many kind and generous people and saw so many new aspects to Disney.  I might even try it again next January!
