October 2, 2014 Jessica Kizmann Beat the Heat October 2, 2014 Jessica Kizmann Summer returned with vengeance last week, and temperatures in the 80s and 90s meant no runs for my little team. It’s finally starting to cool off, but we still have to take it slow. This morning was still around 60 degrees, so we only did a quick half mile around the neighborhood. Dexter has been running better than last season, though it’s too soon to make any real judgements. Denali has been easily distracted by squirrels, but she’s getting better with every run. Knox is doing well, although he tries to pull over and yap at a Labrador we pass by in a fenced yard. The team needs work all around, but they’re doing gret for so early in the season. We have some cooler temperatures coming in on Sunday, so I’m planning to take the team out to Six Mile Run. Fingers crossed it stays nice and cold! Jessica Kizmann Dog musher, New Jersey.
