I am a first time mommy who is struggling to raise a kid and keep up with two obsessions in life, running and dog agility. Follow my crazy journey as my blog has morphed from just talking about training my dogs (pre-kid) to raising a kid and keeping some part of me sane through dog agility and running.

plank work
I have been trying to get in as much plank work as my schedule and body allow. I am going to have to start doing work in the mornings to get in daily reps. Two days a week I go straight from work to teach so I am not getting anything done on those days. Today it was super hot as it was yesterday so she was kind of pokey. We have worked really hard on getting her to run from target to target to get her to build drive. I have stopped using toys but need to get back to them. Food seems to get her going the best so have been relying on that more. I felt like she was finally driving back and forth nicely no matter what position I was in. Initially if I was standing in the middle and clicking, she would stop and check in with me to get the cookie instead of driving ahead. We seemed to have eliminated that behavior which is a huge step ahead for her. She really likes it when I race her to the target the best but I will not always be right there with her, and of course being preggers, I can't really keep up with her anyway. We reintroduced the plank with her this week, a wider plank to help her. She still isn't 100% on staying on it, in fact prefers to run beside it. In her defense, the plank is still not painted or sanded so it is a little slick. We are having to use cones to help her visually but really want to fade them quicker than she wants them faded LOL. Will continue this week and hoping to get video of her running.
