Good evening, just had a wonderful meal at Janice's house. Well 16 days till the race . This is a quick blog update, I am doing good, trying to focus on drinking lot's of water eating hardy food.
Saturday is food drop day, where I get all my dog food ready where it will distributed to the 3 checkpoint of the race. Everytime I go to town friends ask me how I'm feeling, I don't know!!!!!!I don't know what to expect, I tell myself , I'm going on a camping trip, and it's only going to be fun. Anyway you might here from me before the race, I don't know, but you can follow the race on www.yukonquest.com and go on the quest300 site.
Have fun!

Happy New Year everybody! I am in a hotel room tonight(Thanks to Gary and Trudy)this room is amazing, there is 6 pillows on my bed and most important, a jaccuzi as I am enjoying this it's -36 degrees outside. We have been stuck in this cold snap for 3 weeks now and today I just told myself it's enough.Now please it has to get warm!!!! I know I live in the Yukon what am I complaining about this is normal, well you no what? I am not going to answer that....ok. The race is just around the corner, I have been having dreams of the race, like waking up at a checkpoint and I am missing 3 dogs, and showing up at a checkpoint missing one of my boots. I am hoping for happy dreams now, I just need to relaxe a little. I have so much support I cannot thank the Sky High team Laird, Valerie, Ian, Keri, Gary, Trudy, Denis, Miranda enough, my so many friends , the Chocolate Claim. It takes alot to organizing for my race, sometimes my brains is gone to much to the dogs and my dear friends will bring me back to the human world. Like I said it's been cold I have a few frostbite on my face, so it's not a good time to take a picture of me. My training has slowed down in the last time, but will pick up on sunday and I hope it will warm up. I will be going to the Dawson Trail to mush to Braeburn for Steve's down home cooking. My dog Turbo, (for people that has known me for a while know this is my boy) I decided to not have him in my team he is semi retired, enjoying life on the couch now he hasn't been doing well in the cold and maybe I babied him to much I don't know really, I think Turbo will become a good canoe, hiking dog this summer. I think that's all I have to say for tonight. ENjoy the new photo's and video's. The video's are me and my group mushing by Ibex Mountain .
