morning run:
Godzilla
Blue
Osita
Ziggy
Stella
Luna
Lex
Steve McQueen
(8)

To the beach at Au Soleil Couchant and home via the tortuga sign: ~6k. Stella was on the hook the entire way; Luna was on the other end of the hook in parts due to her proclivity to seek out unburied treasures. Everyone rolled in something awful on the way to the beach so I washed the obvious goo off of Zilla, Blue and Osita in the water... Lex and Steve were angels and everyone ran fast and had a good time.

morning walk:
Zasu
Miles
Henry
Tito
Bosha
Linda*
Buddy
(7)

Roni started out with this crew but ran into trouble on the trail due to a number of factors: Miles and Buddy too far behind, Linda and Henry running too far ahead, Bosha getting freaked out by Roni disciplining some of the above and finally some creepy dude standing at the end of the trail staring at everyone; turned out to be a bird-trapper... way too much of that around here right now. I came out to chase Miles across the road and help her get them moving but by then Roni had come to the conclusion that her ankles were hurting more than she thought and Linda also started to run home (freaked out by the bird trapper), so she went back and I went on with the remaining six. I said something to the trapper as we went by him about how what he was doing was illegal then walked around the corner at the shrimpery and down the road a piece to give him time to go away, which is exactly what happened - he went and got his trap and left. Miles dawdled something awful and in general it seems it was a star-crossed walk with everyone out of sync... Nobody was what I would call bad but nobody was on the same page, either. In the end we all collectively ended up chasing away a bird-trapper so I guess that's a win.
GRADE: B

morning swims:
Greta
Lucy
Twiggy
(3)

It was choppier than I thought so nobody swam as long as they normally would but it was also a bit harder because of the waves and current. Roni came out with Zasu and Linda at one point and took pictures of Lucy and Twiggy and me in the water. At least the water temperature was nice.
