I been in the philippines for the past month training with Team TBB. The experience as been amazing and i been enjoying this sport more than ever. This week, i was given the permission to escape boot camp for 5 days for a extra quick trip to Banff, Alberta, Canada. I was here to take part on a big fundraiser for the Canadian Digestive Health fondation and participate in a medical conference.
Part of this very quick trip was a amazing adventure in canmore where i went dog sledding.
i m now jumping back on a plane to travel from calgary to vancouver to honk kong and finaly back to Manila and subic day to resume training camp! should be there in 30h!!! Looking forward to be back in the hot and humid weather!
i m jumping in the plane now, i have sunglasses on and a blind harness attach to one of the husky… i m bringing Juno with me to the philippines!!! hope this will fool the security!!!
jonnyo our summer is starting, until when will you be in subic? subic tends to be become hotter during our summer months --march-late may…chances are junno would not want to step outside your house if you did bring him to subic
well, i was in subic this week…left for 4 days and coming back today. I will be there for another month or so
and i think Juno would love to play with the monkeys… and run at the track during our normal track session at noon under 95 degres heat and humidity!!! I might have to give her a hair cut! and keep the AC on at home!
actually, if you follow the link, you will see i posted a video of the other dogs…
when i got there, they were crying and barking because they wanted to run…they love running and cant stand to be resting! Evertime i would stop, they would starting jumping all over the place and bark at me to get going again!
in some races, they do up to 1000miles in around 8 days… those are some very strong dogs…
there will be a lot of races there in the coming months, enjoy your stay and ask coach melvin to bring you to the coffee shop,home of the worlds largest taco
.
You got that right! And they loooove to run. Preferably with their buddies.
My current running partner is one of our smaller dogs - a little girl that weighs maybe 35 lbs. If I go near the closet where I keep my snowshoes and skijor stuff she studies me intently to see if it means a run, then she goes NUTS. Touch a harness, she goes NUTS. Most of our dogs (my wife’s sled team) are like that. Eating and running and cuddles are what they live for, although the order of those things varies among the dogs.
Nothing like a dog to motivate you for a run on a cold day.
