Agility brags and another week finished
January 27, 2007
By the way, today was one of my hardest exercise days ever, BUT I'd already gotten in over 11000 steps. Yep, 11000 before exercise, and I've got 16305 now. I'm not kidding.
The pedometer was enlighting today. I know why I go home so exhausted now. I did about 2000 steps for each run.
Here's a typical run. Wait for the judges to let us walk the course. Walk the course, twice. Go to the restroom, walk the course one more time if there is time. Watch the class before finish. Go get the dog. Walk the dog long enough to go to the restroom. Good news, is both girls are usually fast. Wander around a lot bit as I'm waiting. Run the course with the dog. Walk dog to treats and give them treats. Walk them back to the crates -- lately in the car and then go back to ringside.
Yeah, it's a lot of walking. Like I said, 2000 steps worth.
Today was weird. I got up and it was 57 degrees. Decided to leave new Landend underwear at home, along with propane heater. It steadily got warmer.
Sometime around noon, my knee started aching. A few minuutes later, I felt a little colder. Then it got REAL cold. We had some light rain, then some really hard rain. Finally it stopped raining -- poor storm phobic dog was in the crate in the car the whole time and as a result she was very freaky.
Oh, and we didn't Q. Poor Marcie has a horrible ear infection and her ear flaps are inflamed. Got together with my friends and we decided on Neosporin with pain reliever. I'm hoping she feels better tomorrow. She had to stop and shake her head on almost every jump.
Yes, I'm exhausted.
