Weekend Updates

Had a pretty uneventful/successful weekend. Rode Legs Friday evening for about an hour, got in a very easy 5 miles. Didn't touch the trailer, and he seemed genuinely happy to see me (a nice change after the trauma of last weekend).

Came back up on Sunday, did a very light and easy 15 miles. Again around the summer training grounds, no trailering. He was extremely relaxed, I think we both started falling asleep about 2/3 through. Had two major spooks, both excusable. One when an animal jumped out of the woods at us (I jumped too), and another while we were alongside the road and a jeep pulling a flatbed trailer came up behind us without slowing down. Don't blame him for that one either.

Attempted some trailer loading on Sunday, he refused it. Thus, no reward.

Still not feeling myself, I've lost probably 80% of my confidence because of this trailer crap. Started leading him alongside the road when we go to and from the trail; helps us both relax and provides good bonding time.

Going to try and make it up after work one day this week to work on trailer with Joy and Michael, hopefully that will make this weekend less stressful. Still planning on taking him to Judie's for trailer training all week. Hopefully she gets him through it so we can get through Foxcatcher and Biltmore with no issues.

Sorry guys, no Garmin reports from the weekend.
