Lark

Long run with Raimondo. We left at 6:45, unfortunately without Paolo, the dog, he was quite disappointed on seeing us leaving without him, but he is not yet prepared for a long run. We went to Campbell, left to the LG Creek trail to Meridian and back to Lark. Of the planned 18, we reduced to 15 to allow Raimondo to increase the mileage regularly. Total of 15.3 mi at good pace of 8:55 for 2:16 h.

Los Gatos Creek

Good run with Paolo, but when back he started to suffer a disconfort in the left hear, I had to bring him to the vet because of a foxtail that came in. Unfortunately, it is too risky to let him going off leash, there are too many of these foxtails. Total of 7.7 in 1:03 at 8:16 pace.
