Somehow I completely missed posting this here. My friend Nora is out thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail this summer. She is hiking in memory of her mother’s values and to raise money for blood cancer research. Check out her blog and join me in vicariously hiking the AT.
I’ve been out walking the world a bit and haven’t posted in several months. One of the things I’ve discovered very recently is a cool mobile app called EveryTrail.

The results on how everyone who participated in Weight Pull at Premier are available now.
So, my Premier weekend came in with a bang and went out with one. As I said in my previous post, Ranger had a really good Thursday–he won the Best of Breed Top Ten at the Top Ten Invitational, then went on to a 5 point pull in weight pull. This was over 10 times…
I’m making a quick post before I head out for the first day of the UKC Premier.
