Fired up!!!

Hey sorry its been a while but things are really heating up now with the race just 5 days away. I cant wait vet checks went great all the dogs are in good shape they are even fat. it is great to be able to put them all on a diet before the race instead of trying to stuff them full to put on weight. we did a 50 miler in the white mountains today and the dogs look great we are ready to go, Final packing tomorrow and we are off for Whitehorse on the 10. Ill be back with a final report from Fairbanks tomorrow with the starting lineup, before we head south.

Brent, you are in our thought, our prayers and our hearts. Abraham Lincoln once said "Whatever you are, be a good one" Brent, always have been and always will be! Give a yell for Saint Johns when you are out on the trail and think of us when you see the Northern Light! We are spreading your light and your spirit here in Minnesota!
Godspeed,
Mary Cates

Go Brent Go! Here's to a great race for you and Silver, Madonna, and the rest of the dogs! Have fun!

This is a very exciting race day - thanks to all of your great blogs, I know more about what it takes to get to the start. We'll be thinking of you here in Kirkland at your start time, with peanut butter sandwiches and then mock-moose stew and homemade ice cream for dinner.

hugs, howls, 'n roos,
