Way to go Cindy. Sounds like your boy is indeed
ready to see 50 miles of trail...and maybe even the following day too! Keep
conditioning him, and yourself, and then head to Mt. Carmel, and see how things
go. I'd bet you two could do all 3 days of 50's.......and I bet he stops
fighting you! They do learn to conserve energy when they are not sure how
far you will be going day after day.
