I'm happy to say that all made the run with no problems, including Lovey. She hadn't run in 2 weeks and being a sprint dog (from Daryl & Dori Hollingsworth), I wasn't sure how she'd do in a mid distance team at that slower pace. I shouldn't have worried though, because after a few miles, she seemed to realize the difference and settled into a beautiful trot. We went up to the hayfields again for a 15 mile run, and the dogs came in looking great. I'll be running again tomorrow, maybe with the sled to get a longer run. I don't know though, I may have to take the atv again in order to get a bigger team run, since time is really a factor at this point. Regardless, I have to get the run in, because between volunteering for the Quest, school and Manny's work, there isn't a whole lot of time for training. That's ok though. These guys have a solid base on them, so the important thing now is to just keep them in shape with NO injuries. I will try to get some extra camping runs in before the TR 200, just for more practice. Keep your fingers crossed that we can at least do one race this season!!! Ha ha ha ha!!
