Week Ending - Oct. 14

Monday, 10/8/12
w/ Petchuli @ Hogback trails, 57 mins
Picked up Ms P from Maxfund and drove out to explore the trails near the Hogback parking lot off I-70. She loved it and it was nice having the area to ourselves.

Tuesday, 10/9/12
w/ Griffin @ Wash Park, 62 mins
Solid run with Griff as usual, over to the park for loops and back, all at a brisk pace.
w/ Auggie @ Great Lawn Park, 59 mins
In the cooler weather he is all business - run, run, run. Most of our time was spent at sub 7:30 pace, he's in great shape.

Wednesday, 10/10/12
w/ Flynn & Otis @ Coors lots, 47 mins
With baseball season over it's great to have the big empty lots free, 2 laps around.
w/ Optimus @ Great Lawn Park, 55 mins
Today we drove over closer to the park to start the run, about a mile away. Great to see a big Dane so enthusiastic and into the run. We took a rest break after 30 mins, otherwise he kept a strong pace.

w/ Griffin @ Wash Park, 59 mins
Got in another great run in the perfect autumn weather with Griff before heading to the airport for flight to Chicago.

Friday, 10/12/12
w/ Wombat & Wrigley @ Chicago Lakefront, 57 mins
So great to see my old running buddies! I ran with Wombat over 5 years before moving out to Colorado. We had an awesome run on the south lakefront and stopped at a beach for sprints and play time.
w/ Tango @ Olive Park, 35 mins
Another reunion with a client dog we've had since 2007, so nice to see him again and take a run. He's getting older but we had a nice time running out to the lake and going to the end of Olive Park.

Solo @ Palos Hills, IL  1hr43
Met up with my old Chicago area trail running friend Tony, we did a nice 10 mile loop at Bullfrog loop before the rains came.

Sunday, 10/14/12
w/ Holly @ Logan Square neighborhood, 45 mins
Yet another reunion run with a long time client dog. Holly and I ran thousands of miles together, very happy to run with her again.
w/ Lincoln @ Lincoln Park, 45 mins
Great to meet this new member of the CDR pack - an athletic German Pointer (is there another kind?). We ran by the zoo, further north in the rain up by the driving range and back south along the water to North Ave foot bridge.

total 10hr25 

trippy to see this again
