Hi all,
My leave from work was approved yesterday, so it's looking like I'll be able to be at the starting line in Whitehorse!! Now, I'm just $600 away from having what I need to complete the race. I'm working on raising funds and I'm blessed with the support of a fantastic bunch of co-workers, parents and students who are backing me. I'm truly warmed by so many people caring enough to help me succeed. It's FANTASTIC!!!
That being said, I'm focusing on keeping the dogs in shape (they've proven that they are ready) and keeping them in good spirits going on short, fun runs. I'll do a few longer runs, but mostly I want to make sure that the team stays healthy and happy. Happy dogs lead to a happy musher and a good time.
News from Whitehorse is that the trail is good, but there are reports of jumble ice on the Yukon around Carmacks and Pelly. How bad, you ask? Me, too! Seriously though, they don't know down at the Quest office as of yet. Still, makes me a little nervous. That jumble ice has been notorious for wreaking havoc on teams and sleds...not to mention the mushers! Not looking forward to that, my friends. (squeek!)
More news to come as I get it.
