Run on the trail down to the beach with Jer and the puppy, then walked up the beach to the road, and ran back home. Turns out the pup is terrified of the water :(

Red course at Mason Neck. Nice woods, but the map felt really vague from controls 4-8. Subtle contours probably didn't help, but things just weren't matching up regardless. Had to bail out to the road or a trail twice to relocate, just to determine that I was where I thought in the beginning. Re-attacked, and after a few minutes of slightly aimless (and confused) wandering, finally found the controls. Not sure if better pace counting and more disciplined bearings would have helped in this case, the whole run just felt rather haphazard. Maybe downloading my GPS track to see where I actually went will help.
Running with the puppy, so much more of an upper-body workout than expected. Mostly an easy jog, with brief sprints whenever the pup saw a squirrel (which was about every minute or so).
