More training yesterday…HOT!
I decided to go out on a short 2 mile run yesterday even though it was pretty hot. In the 50’s. The dogs did excellent, ran well, and listened. In only 2 short weeks I will be headed up to La Pine Oregon for Karen Yeargain’s Mushing Weekend with Kathy Miyoshi (mushing mentor), so I would like to have the dogs up to a good solid 5-6 miles before then. At this point they could easily do a 4 mile run, but it was just really hot yesterday.
I will be going out on a 4 miler tomorrow morning, and see how the dogs fair in the warmer weather. When we get to La Pine, we will probably do around 7 mile runs, but the good thing is that I will have 2 more dogs added onto my team, so the dogs will easily be able to run the 7 mile runs. It will just be like going from dryland to snow, because of the extra weight that will be carried by two extra dogs in the team.
It will be quite fun to run a 5 dog team! I will post photos, and let you all know how the trip goes. It should be awesome!
Talk to you soon,
Christian

I’m not sure exactly what kind of headlamp it is. I got it from a sporting store for like $25. On the instructions part of it, and on the headlamp, it says Dorcy, so I guess it’s a Dorcy headlamp. Haha

What kind of rig are you using on these runs?
