Back To Our Regular Scheduled Programming

Okay I know I have been a little lazy with my blog lately so I am writing this to update you all on everything you have missed..I will try not to be too long winded.We have now covered 309.5 miles as of today's run. Run #36 was a nice 12 mile run with my daughter, Aimee, who drove the team home. Run #37 was a quick 6 mile run on Chirstmas Eve to my hubby's parents to show his grandma the team. As Christmas was sooo busy this year and then the temperatures plummeted for a few days, today was our first day back. Aimee got her dogsled Christmas morning and you could not wipe the smile off that girls face...after breakfast we hooked up Ochocco and Thunder gave her a few quick instructions and off she went on her first solo run on a newly built trail around our 20 acres. Then we switched leaders for her and she sledded over to my in laws to show off her new sled and her budding mushing skills. I am still awaiting my sled which is stuck in Montana...I have entered a race in Elkford B.C on January 16th and 17th and am hoping to have plans in place for someone to bring it across the border to the race for me. I have borrowed, begged and stole some supplies to run with Aimee's sled for the time being and tomorrow will be my first time back on the runners in 12 years..fingers crossed that I don't get dumped. Well there it is in a nut shell I will keep you all updated now and hopefully I can get some pictures of the team and I tomorrow as we run on new trails with a sled.
