Cross-training

Hey Hey, it's Maebe Baebe!
We have been hard at work training huMom for her running. We have got her up to 10 miles.  That's pretty far for a human, so we think it is time for incorporating some cross-training to keep things fresh and interesting.

For today's workout, we had huMom load us all up in the HUV and drive up to Red Rock Canyon for some hiking!! We decided to attempt the trail called Calico Tanks. The trail is only 1.2 miles long, but it included some rock climbing and scrambling.  It was furry tricky to get all 3 of us climbing at the same time in the same direction.  We had to turn around when the climb involved a big log, and we were not properly equipped to handle that. huMom says next time we will have to wear our harnesses and each have our own leash. 
Here's a nice butt shot of us navigating near the sandstone quarry.

There were also some spots where there was standing water so we had some fun sloshing through the mud. We did our best to lead huMom through the muddy way instead of the rocky way.  Wet feety feets are good for training! 

We met a few other doggies on the trail, and of course other humans who wanted to pet us and get some husky kisses.

So that's my story, woo a'tcha later! Maebe
