Green at Hammond Pond with Presto! It was gorgeous day for being outside, so Presto and I were super excited to go to the first NEOC meet of the year :-). Shin-wise things were going surprisingly well, but my navigation wasn't great. I was doing a lot of running to about 50m away from the control and then being like...um...now what... Things really fell apart after seeing Magnus lying under a pile of jackets on the ground with a bunch of paramedics crowded around him. I ran over to ask if I could help, but Ian said everything was under control, so I headed off. I couldn't see Magnus's face under the pile of jackets, so I didn't actually realize it was Magnus with a painful but non-life threatening injury and was imagining that someone had just had a heart attack or something, which definitely did not help what meager focus I had. I still had a lot of fun, though, and I'm hoping Magnus gets better soon!

More vetting for the Prospect Hill meet with SGB and Presto! The snow was mostly gone and what was left was really easy to run on. A herd of deer passed us, which luckily Presto didn't notice, but we put him on a leash anyway. Later on he was like, hey I smell deer! I was amused :-).

Running with Presto on Pi Day! Happy Pi Day! It was SOOOOO cold tonight, which was really kind of surprising because it said it was only 32 out, but it was an EXTREMELY cold 32 degrees. Presto was all excited to go out for a run, and then was possibly even more excited to get back inside :-).

CSU training from Katia and Giovanni's with Presto! It was pouring rain the entire time, but this was still tons of fun, although Presto kept communicating to me that he thought I was insane for taking him on a run in this kind of weather. At one point I was thinking that I was basically as soaked as a person could get, which was clearly a dangerous thing to think because shortly after that a car came flying through a puddle and actually soaked me :-). We got back to Katia and Giovanni's and were supplied with both a towel and yummy food. Perfect!
