Mushing!!!

The trail grooming I did last night really paid off!  I just had the first sled run of the season and there are no words to describe how awesome is was.  It is still a little rough and there are places that need some more snow but it is great training for me and the dogs.  For the most part it is safe trail, there area  few spots that are a little crazy but again its all good training.  I ran eight dogs and I am pretty confident I could run ten.  This is essential since I am training 34 dogs and running small teams is very time consuming.   Running ten dogs I can run 3 teams a day and rotate days off for each dog.  Were going 15 miles now and the dogs are looking great.  Im headed back out for another run.  Its suppose to snow again tonight, lets hope that comes true!!!
