A dog bootie after a 15 mile run
Training is in full swing, and the dogs and I are getting pretty tired of cart training. So this morning, when we woke to 27 degrees and snow, we were all very happy!
Move 'em out! We're hitting high velocity speeds on our training runs
I train at a state park with a large lake, so it's always chilly, and there's usually snow this time of year.

Unfortunately, it'll be some time before I can run on sleds here in Ohio. But this coming weekend, I'm heading north where I'll be on the runners at last!
This crazy get up is a necessity, embarrassing as it is!
Today the dogs and I did 15 miles. They were sure tuckered out afterward.
My sweetie, Big Brown, sleeping like a baby in the warm truck. Spoiled!
It's almost exactly one month before my first race: a pro class, 8-dog, 42-miler. Sophie will also be competing in her first race too: a 2-3 dog, 4 mile junior race. The Tahquamenon Country Sled Dog Race is a wonderful set of races for both the novice and pro alike. And I finally have awesome dogs to run the beautiful trails of the Big Two Hearted River with.
Stay tuned: winter has just begun!
Good luck with your race. You are a stronger person than me!
