So happy…

Running Koa

While I went running this morning, Jes was supposed to take Koa out for his am walk. But instead, he decided to take Koa to Fort Funston. It’s supposed to start raining for days tonight so it was nice to let him run free beforehand. I love to see him run and he always looks so happy.

Beak and Koa

It also interesting to see how he does his exploring while he tries to keep track of our whereabouts. At one fork in the path, we took one side and waited to see if he would take the right path. He took the other one and started looking around for us. He doesn’t have very good sight so he relied on his hearing to find us on the other side.  Jes whistled and he came around the bend.  Then I called him and he came running.  We saw him do this in the snow last weekend too. Maybe it’s time for me to get a whistle for these occasions.

Here are the photos.

8 Mile Tour

This morning I went for my 8-mile Long Run.  To help me get through it, Vyl met up with me at about Mile 4 (right by her house) and took me up the hill and through Presidio.  I took a photo with my Crackberry at each mile just to keep me entertained.  Let’s go on a little tour of SF, shall we?!

Mile 7: Phew, I made it up the hill.  We’re in the Presidio now.  Lots of trees!

mile-08

Mile 8: All done!  Hello, Palace of Fine Arts!  Now it’s time to hit the Starbucks.

As you can see, the run was very scenic, had two hills to climb, and almost no street lights to stop me.  Thanks to Vyl for getting me through the last half of the run.  That was fun!
