It's Go Time!!!

Running the Mid Distance Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon
Day 124, December 24, 2010
Team Buzzsaw / Stewart Taylor Printing

Life seems to keep getting in the way of training. We need to be hard at it right now but life is very busy. The hard part about dog mushing is that it is such a short racing season, then it's over. Dec to March and it's done. If you are on the circuit you are spending every waking minute training the team. I have run into many reasons to NOT train: hunting season, no wheeler, work, injury to myself, warm weather, now .....Christmas. I'm calling bullshit from here on out! No more excuses. I am looking forward to 40 days of hell in which I will lose 12 more lbs and get my body back (hamstring and shoulder issues). Most important though is to make sure the dogs are in marathon shape. These dogs are priority #1 and to get their speed and confidence up with good runs. It's about split times and speed. I recieved a Garmin watch from my wife to tell the split times and mph with ease. It's go time!
