4th of July in Atlanta

The 4th in Atlanta means Peachtree Road Race. Aki ran and did credibly, given her lack of preparation. Astounding, really. Larsen and I headed to the foothills and Lake Alatoona for a cool-down after a Sunday of practice in the field.

Sunday really took the starch of us. It was a not day. I dumped a bucket of ice water over Larsen after his second run, and he did not jump away as a dog might normally do. He was hot. More to come on the training session, which was quite good.

A nap is in order after a busy Fourth of July morning.

Larsen and Chance survey the trail.

It doesn't take long to find water.

Chance heads toward the deep end.

Chance is a fine swimming dog.

Everybody returns to shore.
