Strength 40:00 [2]
Easy workout 1 plus much overdue rehab.
Running 1:45:00 [3]
shoes: La Sportiva Uragano
Brody’s biggest challenge yet- Haffy and Dingle with AD and BGY.
He was mostly free on his longline and collar, in a less familiar area with lots of squirrels and deer, and AD prancing around.
Not as good as last time. Moments of brilliance, but also a lot of telling him to SIT, and a few buzzes on the collar. I had to step on the longline a few times too. In the second half he sat on command while AD rocketed off after a squirrel at one point, ran beautifully in the open fields, but in a different venison-scented spot got so distracted that he ignored me and the collar, and I had to grab the line.
AD has learned to run just out of longline radius after the big guy schooled him for being a pain.
A bit psychologically tiring having to be in voice control all the time, but he had soooo much more fun than every other time on leash. Not ready to ditch the emergency longline yet.

Running 35:00 [3]
shoes: Saucony Razor
Wow. Ran the Charlevoix trail and the west swamp loop with the boys.
First time the big boy was hands-free for the entire run. He did trail his longline, and had his collar on for backup, but he was 99% with just voice. I never touched the line.
Why is this night different from all other nights? ;)

Easy trot to work with BZdog. He's fine today, and was 100% slack leash.

Brody’s 25m long line arrived (slackline safety from MEC), and he ran home with it trailing behind and me not touching it through all of Palgrave East and West to home. First time ever. If he bolts I can stomp the leash, but no need.
Lumberjack 20:00 [3]
Hauled a very heavy wagon of wood up from our neighbours’ trails. They had some work done and the 1.5M logs are in the woods- mine if I can get them out.
