Dog goes to take a piss, places 7th in half marathon

[Beef Supreme]

Early Saturday morning, Ludivine, a 2½-year-old hound dog, was let out of the house in Elkmont, Alabama, to do her business. Prone to roaming around town at will, Ludivine snuck out of the backyard and made her way to the starting area of the inaugural Trackless Train Trek Half Marathon about a quarter mile away.

Ludivine proceeded to mingle with the runners, run the entire 13.1-mile course, cross the finish line in an unofficial 1:32:56, and have a medal draped over her floppy brown ears—all without her owner, April Hamlin, realizing she had wandered off in the first place. The incident was first reported in Canadian Running Magazine.

The bitch beat my PR

That's hilarious.

Oddly, I almost ran that race. I'm heading to Alabama this weekend to run a different race, but it was between that one and the one above. I kind of wish I'd picked the dog race now. But the dog would've gone home long before I hit the finish line.
