The Joys of Fall

The temps are FINALLY down in the low 50s and 40s to stay! After a week of 75 degrees F this is a wonderful change! We can now get on a regular training schedule instead of running in a sporadic pattern.

Training is going well and the dogs are doing fantastic! I couldn't ask for them to do any better. We're doing about 3 miles each run now and our goal is to be doing 5 miles by January. So we're not doing too bad!

Not only does fall come with training runs, it comes with lots and lots of kennel cleaning/preparing for winter and raking, raking, raking, those pesky leaves. They look pretty when they're still attached to their trees...but then they fall. :P I think I'd actually rather shovel dog poop than rake leaves.

Ah well, it won't last forever. Soon there should be snow on the ground! The weather people here are calling for a harsh winter this year so Michiganders; get out your shovels!
We're hoping for lots of snow to make up for the lack of it the past 2 winters. Hopefully no races will have to be cancelled!
Stay tuned for the 2012 racing schedule!

Peace, Love, Sled Dogs
