Mudd-season has started again!Sleds are being put away in the barn, and the cart and the MTB have been taking out again.The roads are still very VERY muddy. But that only adds the weight needed to build up more muscles on the dogs... :-)-still I hate it! I do not see the spring as the end of the winterseason, I see it as the beginning for the preparation for the next season. This winter did not at all go as planned.. It all started so well, but then -after having trained 300 km in the legs of the dogs -and me, I had to rush to Denmark. My father died from me, and I never made it down there in time. That took away all spirit from me, and I settled on maintaining the training on the elderly dogs and looking forward to start up the youngsters. But slowly the joy of working the dogs returned as the sorrow and chock grew into sadness and longing memories of the past, and I took up, were I had stopped.I maneged to do the Beaver Trap Trail with two dogs -On SKIES! That was a huge satisfaction for me.So now my goals are made for the next season. Of cause I may have to revise them as shit happends, that's Murphys law. But who cares? -as long as the dogs and we are happy and contempt ;-)
Goal for my self: Continue training myself so I'll build up muscles and better fitness nessecary for improving my skating. In practic that means transforming 5-8 kg fat to muscles and CO2/H2O + improving my distances on a Coopers test. I have a goal sat on 2800 m. Hard for an almost 48 year old woman, but not impossible. Last year I did 2700 m. as the most.
Goal for the dogs:Doing at least one workingdogtest on 10 km and at least one long distance run, getting at least 1000 km in the legs of all the dogs.
Sunday 15/4 I took the team of Anna and her puppies out for 13 km on the muddy dirt-roads.
I hate mudd!
