On February 24 we got a new dog at the Leadville race from Bruce Harper. He's a registered siberian husky that goes by Willy (registered name is Code Name Chillie Willie). The Leadville race went great! I was the only one that raced ... http://sleddoggin.com/blogs/skyrunnerkennel/2008/03/08/382008/ Hello Everybody, Sorry I haven't been up to date on the posts. Hoping to start with more consistent posts again. As you can tell I have changed it from OneDog Blog to Sky Runner Kennel. With only two dogs, we may be a micro kennel, but it's a step-up from one ... http://sleddoggin.com/blogs/skyrunnerkennel/2008/02/01/212008/ Well, this past weekend we got a total of about 4-6" of snow. I've had to wait a few days before I can train again as I don't have a sled. I thought that by now the trails would have iced over atleast some to run with on the bike. ... http://sleddoggin.com/blogs/skyrunnerkennel/2007/12/12/i-need-a-sled/ Tonight we had a great training run. Sky ran 3.6 miles bikejoring by herself and 2 miles with Elmo included. So 5.6 total. The run went great and by the time we were done, it was already pretty dark. It was fun, and it was also my first night run. ... http://sleddoggin.com/blogs/skyrunnerkennel/2007/11/29/great-training-runs-and-a-proposed-race-schedule/ So far, Sky has gone on 4 training runs and has 15 miles on her. She is doing great. Her muscles are growing and so is her stamina. After our run today, Sky was only the least bit fatigued and wanted to run another 4 miles! Normally, I'll leave Elmo with ... http://sleddoggin.com/blogs/skyrunnerkennel/2007/11/24/more-training/ This morning I decided to get Sky's first run in. We did 2.7 miles and they (Sky and Elmo) did great! I only had to help on the hilly parts. She is a great puller! You could tell at the end of the run that Elmo was better conditioned. Sky ... http://sleddoggin.com/blogs/skyrunnerkennel/2007/11/20/skys-first-training-run/ This Saturday we added another dog to our team. She is an all-white female from the Polaris Siberian Husky Rescue in Fort Collins, CO (polarissiberianhuskyrescue.com). Her name is Sky and she looks like she's from racing lines, however I can't be sure about that. Her legs are soo long! She ... http://sleddoggin.com/blogs/skyrunnerkennel/2007/11/19/new-dog/ This weekend was GREAT! I borrowed one of Mike Sullivans older leaders to help with passing and speed. The dogs weren't fighting, but Elmo hated to have a neckline on so I had to hold Charlie back on both days, because Elmo was balking. The first days run was average. ... http://sleddoggin.com/blogs/skyrunnerkennel/2007/11/14/back-from-buena-vista/ Last night I decided to run Elmo on a 4 mile run to finish his training and finally ready him the our race this weekend. It was hot (55-60) so I stopped and watered him a lot. Our run took about 40 minutes including about 15 minutes of break time ... http://sleddoggin.com/blogs/skyrunnerkennel/2007/11/09/were-ready-to-race/ This morning, two good things happened! Number one, I got my race entry in for the dryland race in Buena Vista, CO on November 10/11. I'll be running in the 1/2 dog bikejor class on a 3 mile trail. I'll be running Elmo, and one of Mike "Lowdog" Sullivan's older ... http://sleddoggin.com/blogs/skyrunnerkennel/2007/10/29/race-entry-in-speed-training/
