Dreaming Of A White Christmas

Ahhhh fresh snow, cooler weather and a bright morning sun our 26th run was a beautiful one. After my excitment filled morning the other day I decided to have a nice easy run with Ochocco and Thunder in lead. The weather was great and our 17 km (10.5) mile run in fresh snow was just gorgeous. On this day I took along my MP3 player and rocked out to some good ole tunes. I think the dogs were pretty curious as to what the heck the two legged person was doing as I sang along to Poker Face.

Introducing the Leaps and Bounds Team

With our recent snowfall and coooler weather my thoughts have turned toward getting prepared for the winter and so I started the task of shopping for a sled that would suit my needs. I am planning to have some amount of company with me over the winter months so it needed to be big enough to hold passengers and yet I wanted the tobaggan style and of course I wanted it to look good. My search led me to Jack Beckstrom of Adanac Sleds and Supplies in Montana. I had found the sled I liked on his website and after consulting with a friend as to if it would be ok for me I phoned Jack up and ordered it. I am expecting it to be ready between Chirstmas and New Years and now I only have to figure out how to get it here. But in the meant time I have this picture as my screensaver. It's so pretty
I can't wait to try it out and hopefully I will get a few runs on it before I head to Elkford for the Wilderness Classic. This is the only race I think I would like to attend this year. From what my friends say it is a fun race on an old logging road .... sounds good to this gal.

.....See You On The Trail......
