Monday Oct 30

Monday Oct. 30 I ran the team over the weekend and on Sunday Fayth stood on the back of the cart with me and rode. Since Toshiba and Sakari were tired and hurt I chose to run a different team. Cosmos-Kenai, Bear-Yeti, Sasha-Sloppy Joe, Ulric-Dancer. This was Sloppy Joe's first run. I kept the team slow down the hills so I would not blow all their energy on the downhills. This helped me to watch Sloppy Joe. He ran well and had a nice gate and energy level. When I got home as usualy I checked everyone's feet and Sloppy Joe had scraped both front pads so I gave him some ointment and let him rest.
