Had a great day today, it started off some what badly with me missing out on strength training a la Group Power at my local YMCA, but then ended in a wonderful snow shoe hike on some beautiful trails in Marysville.
I really love this type of adventure, getting out in nature and enjoying some fresh air with great people and energetic dogs is my idea of a heaven.
Dog 1: My Boy Maverick, Cross between a lot of different breeds, Shepard, Grey hound, Husky, Lab, etc. In other words he's a dog that loves to run, chase and play.
Dog 2: My Boy Kikapu(named after a Mountain bike in case you are wondering). He is a Golden Retriever from Jackson Golden's. He loves to be outside, but is also quite happy lazing around sleeping too. he doesn't much care for the deep pack snow as it gets in between his pads on his paws, thus this picture of him chewing the treats from his paws.
And lastly in this photo, My Bestest Girl Shannon, She'll likely be tested also in this endeavor of mine, as they say "extraordinary accomplishments can not ever be completed by one self". She'll be in charge of my nutrition and diet for the most part. I'd love to say this will be a new role for her, but lets face it here, she is the reason I eat so well as it is, so no big role change. what she will get is a nice thank you from me on a daily basis.
So back to the Snow shoeing, the trails were a bit covered with some new fallen snow, but what a spectacular day it was, little over 2 hours total, 3 dogs, 5 people, great conversation and a nice Hot Chocolate at the end.
My idea of a perfect cross training session!
Thank you to Lee, Tracy, Shannon G, Shannon M, Jersey, Kikapu and Maverick for making it a great time!
Hope to do it all again soon!
