Sunday is Skijor Day!

Every Wednesday and Sunday after 2pm, skijoring is allowed on certain Nordic trails at Mount Spokane.  Diana and I had plans to go last Wednesday, but a major snowstorm foiled our plans that day.  Instead we went today--Diana with Murungu, Diana's friend Shelly with Luna, and then I had Blaze.  Unfortunately, Kari wasn't feeling well today and had to stay home.

This made Kari fairly upset, but it was very good for Blaze.  Today was his first skijor trip of the winter without Kari, and I wasn't sure that he would remember how to pull without Kari's example.  He was terrible whenever I tried to take him alone last year.  Today he actually pulled!  Plus, I had to work since I only had one dog, so I got a good workout, too.  It really is too easy for me with two dogs, but it's also a ton of fun!  I did the whole thing without poles, so I imagine my legs will be sore tomorrow.  I'm not exactly sure of the distance, but I believe it's between five and six miles.

Tomorrow is back to work for me.  I'm so sad that the break is over.  I have been having so much fun!  Now I'm back to schedules plus evening meetings; the seniors have culminating essays due tomorrow, and I'm still behind on sophomore essays.  In fact, I'd better get back to my grading right now!
