Dog Days of Summer

Boodini in June ran down 76miles, every other day. The Dog can run, wants to, does. As a pacer it is the duty to monitor the course, check the gait, study the progress forward. After all, there is building of a goal.... really? Well, it's all in fun, Donkey Dash, Run for the Rovers, and Boodini's latest 2nd fastest canine at the Dachshund Dash. It requires knowing when to show them, when to fold them. Diet at 8years old now plays a factor, proper minerals and vitamins, hydration, heat stress. July's begun and every other day is every other day, just an experiment in rest and run. No sign of that front leg limp from sometime ago that put training for Boodini at a halt. Keep vigilant, know your body, react to the signs and point in the right direction and keep moving forward.
