Cold this morning- which meant I was happy. Starting to think that maybe I should get some puppy shoes for my pup and maybe a wind-proof jacket of sorts for him. He is a shorter haired dog- so I worry that sometimes the temps are in the lower limit for him.. of course, he is running so that should help some. Usually when it's too cold he starts picking up his paws in a funny kind of way and gives me the look of 'Dang! It's cold out! Could you please carry me home?'- which he hasn't done yet this year.

May try to squeeze in a shorter run in the lower elevation, relatively flat terrain today during/after work. Will have to see how fast I can run my samples..

I hope you tell the puppy no. No pain, no gain.

Welcome back! I have been a slacker in the blog dept. On my way out so don't have time to read your blog from last week. I will catch up when I get home. Are you still on for the CIM?
