I haven’t been in Aspen since mid-August. I had a good low key day at home. I skate roller skied for two hours by myself this morning and went for an hour run this afternoon. I spent the middle of the day unpacking my car of everything I own and completing my Russian visa application for the World Cup in Sochi this winter. Tomorrow I will next-day ship my passport to the travel agency in Park City. It is a little nerve-racking to be sending my passport off two weeks before the start of the World Cup season. It’s fun to see our cat Schröder again:

And it was a gorgeous day!

It is much warmer here than Canmore which is a nice change.
