Another week of training in the books…………well calendar……….we are over 200 miles and going 15.3 miles currently without the dogs panting at all at the end of the run! We want to get up to 20 miles before race season and that is very do-able!
Kind of an unexciting week – training one day and then trying to trim the snow-loaded trees off from the trail – we worked on one section of the trail for an hour and only got 100 yards!! So many trees bent over with the snow load so that we have to not only cut the trees off and shove them to the side of the trail but pull the tops of the trees out of the foot of snow they are buried under!! That’s the hardest work, pulling them out of frozen heavy snow.
Today we are going in to a fund raiser dinner for a family in Newberry that got burned out of their house and then to church. Tomorrow we are going to do more trimming of trees on the trail and then meeting Waltmans and Jan and going to a Christmas program that the whole town of Newberry produces!! We went 2 years ago and it was very good with lots of variety of musical talent!!

At this point, non-exciting weeks are a good thing for you guys! Enjoy all the holiday festivities! We had our wine and cheese party last night - always feels odd to kick off the holiday season with no snow though. It's been in the upper 40s to lower 50s around here... not a flake in sight!
We love you!!
