Training Run
Date: January 23, 2011
Distance: 35-40 miles. 4:00 hours
Weather: 22 degrees and partly cloudy
Equipment: Sled
Trail Conditions: snow packed
Dog Positions: 10 dog team. Bird-Shifter, Snap-Sparrow, Zambonie-Eddy, Jane-Scoter, Shirkle-Widegon
Music Choice: Metallica, Bob Marley
Notes: God run. Went out with Paul with him on the snow machine. We left from the Willow Community Center and ran over Long Lake and Crystal lake to the “Big Swamp” trail and down to the “Old Hunters Trail.” We stopped every hour or so and snacked the dogs and gave them a “good dog.”
We are trying to get over a mental plateau that the dogs are experiencing. We hope to do that this week so we can race in the Don Bowers race this weekend.
