Well, as you can see, I was quite excited to read the thermometer when I went out to run Calypso a little while ago. At 38 degrees, this is the first really cool day we’ve had!

I’d like to say that our run was good but it wasn’t. My skijoring belt is still riding up annoyingly and Calypso is slacking off. I made the discovery this morning that, if I am right behind her holding a short length of line, she runs fast and keeps the line taut. However, with the long skijoring line, she slows down and lets the line go slack. I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet. Keep training, I guess.

One good thing is that we’re both getting back into shape. Calypso has already lost much of her Summer fat (not that she was overweight). And already, I can run farther without feeling like I’m going to collapse.
