Plans continue for the new 2010-2011 season. This year we are planning to do some ATV training as we have access to a short but convient trail that allows ATV's. Our plan is to run this trail on the weekdays and concentrate on our training rather than conditioning, saving the conditioning for our weekend runs. The "secret" new training trail does have lots of Gee Haw training opportunities and offers hills and lots of potential distractions. We have priced out some fencing (orange plastic) to make the trail and surveyed it for milage. The idea would be to make it as much like a race trail as possible complete with a starting shoot and swinging gates for variety. Crystal and I have looked at the layout and think its very doable. We are also looking at the feeding program and might try using impact or pro meat 100 throughout the racing season in addition to premium kibble.
The dogs are in summer mode lounging on their decks lifting their heads in acknowledgement of our comings and goings but rarely doing much of anything else. For now all we can really do is plan for next year, fix gear, and work on ourselves, exercising our bodies and exorcising our minds of last years defeats. My goals are the same this year, to do better than the last and learn as much as I can. We do have a few secret weapons in the works but if I told you it wouldn't be much of a secret now would it. As always I would like to take this opportunity to thank my wife and family who put up with and encourage all this nonsense. Without them and the dogs I would surely be up to no good, idle hands being the root of all evil. No time for any evil in this house... well maybe some, just a little, to keep thing interesting.
