3 miles in ~15:00 avg pace. 

Was post-holing most of the way and watching to make sure the little one was following along. So, it was probably 1/2 running and 1/2 walking. Saw a couple elk- they were enormous and only about 10' off the trail. Glad that the pups came back to me and we turned around and headed back the way we came!

AM: 3 miles (in ~15:45 avg pace) on trails near house with pups. Snow worse today. Saw lots of places where elk had punched through almost 1.5' of snow- post holed up to my knee a couple times. Precarious running to be sure! The little one did pretty well.

A note: I haven't been blogging or running too much lately partly because work as been insane and partly because of this:

 

 puppy

My husband surprised me with this little girl when I came home for a trip to AZ in Feb. We'd been talking about getting our pup a new sister or brother, but was sure that the hubby thought we wouldn't have time for a puppy. He adopted her from a pound up in Rangley. Our friends and neighbors adopted one of her sisters- and that has been fun and helpful. We've sort of set up a doggie co-op for days when we have to be away for longer than 4-5 hrs at a time. So, we've had her for about 3.5 weeks and she's almost 12 weeks old.  Her mom was a great pyrenees and her dad a border collie, so we have no idea how big she will get. She's a handful, but incredibly sweet. Her brother and her are getting along marvelously.. our cat is not too sure yet, but is getting more and more interested in her. It will probably be a year or so before she becomes a regular running buddy- but she seems to have the energy for it already!
