Been a little while since I last posted but my friend Rita reminded me! (Thanks hun!). SO February started last week and it seems we are without a winter here in NJ! I need one good snow storm please!
A few great things do come out of no snow though....with my 1/2 marathon raining in full swing, I do not have to run on the street to avoid snow and I can run on trails. When it snows no one plows the trails so they are pretty much avoided. Nice that I have a variety of places to run.
Running....yep, I have been running. Did 6 miles Sunday and it was HARD. I mean real HARD. I was dehydrated and it made the run very difficult. I wanted to walk but I kept on....and having Tangy with me helped. My run is a fast walk for her so imagine walking? She would be bored out of her mind. I struggled to finish but I did and then was sure to drink lots of water. Even made myself a protein shake with lots of vitamins in it. I took a shower and proceeded to sleep throughout the ENTIRE superbowl. yep, it was a hard run. BUT, I woke up to find out I had won the 1st quarter and the 1/2 of the football pool! YEAH ME!
And then there is the training.....I have no trained Rev as much as I probably should have but with work and time constraints, she is getting as much as I can give her. We have a nosework workshop this weekend and I am really excited about it. I am hoping this can be a new outlet for her energy! She is a bit more reserved then her mom in agility right now but I am positive that will change. SO...probably no trialing until late spring or fall. No rush for the baby!
And then there are the breed dogs. I just started showing my baby chin, Jr Mint, and I am loving it. He is by far the best I have produced and knows it. Looks like the dog fancy does as well. Was approached by a possible backer....wow....but The Mint is staying here...no matter what! He continues to grab points and puppy group placements. He is so awesome if I do say so myself.
And then there is me....doing lots of reading and meditating. Just time alone. No distractions, just me. I am liking it. I feel grounded and more patient with my life and what goes on around me. I am trying to be the best version of myself. I want to love every aspect of my live. I truly want to be the person my dog thinks I am!
