Its been a crazy week of running dogs, fixing trucks, preparing for march tours and MAKING DECISIONS!! Overall things are going well but I am still waiting for the word GO!! Did an 80 miler in the whites on Sunday had a great run dogs were awesome. I did come back with a couple stiff front ends. Both Madonna and Rocky were a little slow getting out of their house on Monday. Madonna loosened up pretty quickly and after really thinking about it, I might just be paranoid at this point I am watching the dogs every move and sometimes they just do funny stuff. Kyla thinks that madonna was just trying to get let inside!! and she is probably right. Rocky I am not sure about if he keeps looking like he does he will probably have to stay, this is a big bummer but part of the game! everyone is dealing with stuff like this I will go with my best 14 and be nothing but positive! Anyways that is what is running through my head, nothing out of the ordinary, DOGS!! Kyla has been holding the fort down here at the place, getting adjusted to being back to town. This is her first time back in 3 months!! Its going well but with the exception of one dinner at Ivory Jacks and a Shower at the Goldstream Store she hasn't left, but that is just the way she wants it, she will have to talk to plenty of people out on the trail!! But thats easy because all those people want to do is talk dogs and Kyla is a pro at that!! Where just hanging out with this dogs tonight, pretty chill dogs are loving it. Here a pic of our party (notice Raptors smile he is getting a rub down from Kyla, and loving it) and some videos from my last run in the whites. This will be the last post on "Brents Blog" I will be switching over to the Quest 10 Blog from here on out. Only 4 days until the Start!!

Well here we are tomorrow we are heading in for vet checks on Sat and then Quest week begins!! the last 5 days in Eureka have been AWESOME!! The trails are in great shape and the weather has been nice and warm a little windy at times but that just good training. At this point I have 16 really strong dogs that I am choosing from. The sore muscles that Skunk had after the Gin Gin and Ling Ling and Bust had after the Copper Basin have given them no problems since there time off and I am excited about that. Ling Ling is an extremely tough dog and is the only 3 time finisher of the Quest. Ive got one more run planned fro tomorrow morning and we are packing up and headed out. My Dad has been in town getting the truck prepared for the race and will be out tomorrow to pick us up. Matt and Mandy arrived today to take over operations out here in Eureka while we are gone and have had there orientation and are set to keep the 65 dogs happy and healthy. SO it seems like everything is coming together nicely, I am still waiting for GO!! stay tuned the 2010 Quest is just around the corner and WIld and Free is locked and loaded!

Back in paradise!!
