Maiden Voyage

Happy 14th birthday Aly!

She disappeared a couple of months ago. I have no idea what happened to her, which is hard. I miss my girl so much.

Day 2 at the Central Maine Dryland Challenge

Day 1 at the Central Maine Dryland Challenge

Those ears though!

When everything seems to be going wrong, but the dogs run great, you remember that nothing else really matters!

It's that kind of evening...

Another gorgeous (albeit damp!) fall training day!

A 'feel good' run!

Celebrating 6 years!

Ahoy Matey!

Baking Supervisor

Making progress!

Mighty Orc

Douglas Hill Hike

I love it when a quick hike turns into a crazy adventure! Especially when it's with some of my favorite people!!

Vulcan's Fury Course Recon

Amber was so proud to carry their fuel up to the tower, which was approximately the halfway point.

Running through a yellow wood...

North Mountain Hike

It was a beautiful day to get away from the crowds and into the woods!

Watching the Rain

The 'puppies' first time running with a team!

This morning the puppies (although they're hardly puppies anymore!) that were born last spring got a little taste of what being sled dogs is all about! And they did great!! It's good to see all of their early handling paying off in them being comfortable with whatever we 'throw' at them. They take it in stride! 

Ginger and George went first. We hooked them in behind Meb, who is learning how to be a leader,  and Yukon, who hasn't run yet this season. They enjoyed an short, slow, easy run and learned how much fun it is! 

Me & my best buddy, George.

Wilson and Chloe showed Desi and Diggins how it is done! Wilson has been injured, so needed an easy run himself, and Chloe is working on gaining confidence as a leader. This easy trail and slow pace was perfect training for her as well.

They were pretty pleased with themselves. That was fun!

Something spooky is afoot...

Smuttynose Rockfest Half-marathon

This year we decided to run a race that was closer to home. Well, Ed ran it, and I somehow managed to cross the finish line! We couldn't have asked for better scenery, better weather, better friends to run with, better beer, better food, or better music to dance to afterwards! 

It's getting more colorful out here every day!
