Hollingsworth Huskies

Yesterday morning I took the dogs out for a 4 mile run. Coleton, my brother, went along as well on his bike. He acts as my “backup” support, and it’s nice to have someone along with me.

The run took us about 70 minutes, but we took 2 REALLY long breaks of about 15 minutes. I wanted to make the run fun for the dogs, and didn’t want to overwork them too much. All in all, according to my GPS, we were averaging about 10 miles and hour when we were actually running.

The dogs are getting quite strong already, and easily drag the cart around; sometimes while I am not ON the cart either! I am having to constantly keep an eye on the dogs and hop on the cart in a moments notice, as they just go go go!

I am hoping to do about 3 more runs before next weeks trip to Oregon for the La Pine Mushing Weekend; as I want to do a couple 7 milers while I am up there. Next week on Monday/Wednesday, I will probably jump up to 5 mile runs here, and then do the 7 milers in Oregon. This will be quite easy for my dogs, as we will be adding more dogs to my team while we are up there; which will make less weight for each dog to pull.

Once again, I will definately post photos of my journey here after the trip.
