I ran the Cascade route at an easy pace with Larry and Kent. I went back looking for Larry's dog Ozzie at one point in the first half of the run, and then Larry went back looking for him during the second half of the run, so for a large portion of the run we weren't all together. Sometimes Ozzie's shepherding instincts (he's an Aussie Shepherd) are evident as he stays with the group, or stays back with a runner that is lagging behind. Other times he just seems selfish and lazy and does whatever he feels like and we have to go back looking for him. He seems kind of ... human. I'm definitely not bragging about the pace, but it was interesting that today's run was exactly a 10K in exactly 1:00:00 (9:40/mi).
