Tupo
(9)

Up the beach past Au Soleil Couchant: ~5k. This was Tupo's first big-boy run and he had an absolute blast. He and Daisy left on leashes; Daisy came off at the shrimpery, where I switched her for Roxy and we stayed that way until we hit the beach. We took the blue.bag trail in both directions and Tupo ran it like he'd done it a hundred times before. He was perfect on and off the leash, gave me no problems getting him back on after I let him off, listened well and ran his little ass off. He really wanted to run, along with everyone else. He is not enthusastic about the water but I carried him into the ocean once and encouraged him as he swam back to shore to at least give him a taste. We hauled ass for stretches but I let them stop to sniff stuff and screw around several times. A very nice run on a slightly chilly morning.
