You train for month to run this long and lets not forget to mention the registration fees you pay. Then a dog comes along and beats you... By accident! This is exactly what happened in Alabama.Well, unofficially beats you. It's a wonder how the word "unofficially" will make you feel better, right?  According to a story on 9NEWS, Ludivine, a two and a half year old bloodhound didn't register for the Elkmont Half Marathon, but that didn't stop her from participating. She got out of her backyard and made her way to the starting line and completed the race coming in at 7th. Not only did she finish, she made a few pit stops along the way. Check out the photos that were posted to the Elkmont Half Marathon - The Trackless Train Trek's Facebook page.

I can't even run around the block without getting winded and this dog just decides to join in on the run! You can say I am a little jealous about the whole deal... But I can eat chocolate, so there's that!
