Wally and I had a great morning out with THH. It was a beautiful day that warmed up quickly but not before the hounds were able to get on a red fox. They ran the fox for an hour or so. I'm pretty sure they ran a lot more than we did because we were well in their rear view mirror. Eventually they came back around and we got to watch them work pretty well and then run along with them. Eventually they got back around to about where they started. They were some pretty worn and tired hounds. I think by that time the temp was about 60, so the day was called.
Wally was excellent. He is very fit and ready to run down in Aiken next week. The sand footing will be different but running the mountains will certainly help his fitness overcome the sand.
For the day he covered 7.25 miles and topped out at 19.1 MPH. He is handling the speed over terrain very well. When we finally checked up on the run, we had a moving average of 6.6 MPH. That's pretty good considering most of the time we are around 4.6 or so.
