Training Log 11/9/09
Lach- Upped the mileage to 20 and the dogs continue to get faster and tougher. Last run was in 30+ degree weather which they need to be able to handle as I’ve run in to days on the Iditarod of 48+ degrees!! By then the dogs are at a weight that makes running in that kind of heat safe. We’re trying 6 new dogs from Dan MacEachen’s Krabloonik Kennels: Cash, Carson, Dunkin, donut, Travis, and Garth. Walter and Jetta are becoming real leaders. Feet continue to be challenging as the dirt roads we train on are really abrasive; like running on sandpaper; some of the dogs are already wearing booties. The yearlings continue to amaze us with their attitude, power, and work ethic.
