and earned another big Gold level title to go with the other one she earned yesterday. So proud of my big grrl. 
So I ventured into the 
magma chamber
via 700 fast marching steps and 100 pushups. Bertha is not happy with my obsessive commitment to eliminating her.
Teasure Hunt just reaffirmed my resolve.



I think I did too much trying to keep up with the youngin's at the trial on the weekend. I keep forgetting I'm middle aged. 

It's always something.

I decided to drop Cardio Go! because it involved a very lengthy timebased set of workouts per day and I don't have the time for it. I figured I could pick it up later on when I'm not doing as many other timebased programs. This is what I
about DAREBEE. You can do what works best for you, no matter how little or how much.
I actually jogged over 30 minutes going 4.5mph and clocked 2.87km/1.75miles without being exhausted, massive stomach cramps, etc. 
All of the usual things that used to happen to me when I was younger and had to run distance in P.E. Nobody told me that if I slowed down and took smaller steps that my fast twitch muscles could be built up to handle 'distance running'. I am so stoked I had that epiphany a little while ago. Once again, all thanks to DAREBEE. Maybe one day I'll even 'run' long distance. Who knows???

Congrats on the new badge and the jogging achievement!


!!

I'm trying to decide if I should replace my finished challenges with new ones or just wait until the next batch and then swap.
Bertha is saying nah. I am inclinced to agree with her for a change. Gotta love first world problems. LOL!

Wow! This dog is so amazing! I loved watching the videoDay 80
So I ended up only getting 3.5hrs sleep before having to drive 3.5hrs down south early Friday morning for a scent hurdle tournament with my pups.
My young one had a blast racing blended with a bunch of new dogs. Scent hurdle racing is a dog sport that involves 2 teams of 4 dogs racing side by side. Each team goes over 4 jumps, spaced 10ft apart, down to a divided box that holds 4 wooden dumbbells. Each dog has to find their dumbbell by scent only (usually their own but sometimes their owner's), pick it up, and then bring it back over the jumps before the next dog can go and do the same thing. A boxloader replaces the missing dumbbell with a spare bell, so each dog always sees 4 bells on the box. The fastest team to bring back all 4 correct bells is the winner. Lots of speed going down the lanes, finding the bell, and coming back is the ultimate goal. My dogs have all done that very well and my youngest is no exception. Except... she likes to make the box explode by hitting it hard before she goes to find her bell. Her enthusiasm for the sport is a bit over the top and she really makes the poor boxloaders work their arses off.
Either way, it was a long day of racing where I put over 13,000 steps on my watch before having to drive back home that night. By the time I got home I was beyond exhausted. I didn't do any P&Cs but did do 100 punches to keep my streak alive and went straight to bed, which was uber early for a change.
Onwards & upwards, baby!
For those wondering what SHR looks like, here is a video of my first BC doing it in the old days. She was an exceptionally talented dog and could air scent from 8-10ft away from source.

She was pretty spectacular in so many ways and my one in a million sport dog.Dumbbells and kettlebells: yay!! It’s so much fun getting new workout equipment. Let us know how you like the kettlebell.


Randomizer: Qué? I did a search for it but couldn’t find. I’m sure I missed it somewhere along the way — I’m so not detail oriented![]()

Scent hurdle racing: I mean this is so freakin cool!!! I wanna see a clip of your youngest exploding the box in all her puppy enthusiasm hahaha



More importantly, the inches are coming off and that is a bigger win in my world than the weight loss. Bertha is a former shadow of herself and hopefully by summer she will be just a small blip on my body's healthier new me. 


to my fellow bees!!

Randomizer!! I put one together myself … completely basic. Just two random numbers from random.org 1.) an integer between 1 and 3 that „tells“ me to do the workout easy, normal or hard 2.) an integer between 1 and N that gives me a random page of N. Rey’s workout books…Day 79

Another long day on the computer as I tried to finish everything before me and my pups headed out early the next morning for a 3.5hr jaunt down to Calgary for a scent hurdle racing tournament. Finished almost all of my P&Cs throughout the day and only had the April Challenge to do before bed. Ran out of time to do a dumb/kettlebell workout, so I didn't get to try out the new set, dagnabbit! Can't wait to see what my randomiser picks for me. Hope it's for the kettlebell and doesn't involve yucky squats.I'm trying to decide if I should replace my finished challenges with new ones or just wait until the next batch and then swap.

Congrats on all the workouts! The hard work will pay off and a day off helps the body reset. Just took a week off for camping and cave tours.Day 16

Was competing at an agility trial all day and then got home to work on the computer for 8 hrs so did not do any of my programs or challenges, BUT I did put over 15,000 steps on between running my two dogs along with building courses, which also involved moving equipment, so some natural strength work. All in all I did approx 11km/7miles of movement over an 8hr period. Go schmee!
For those wondering what dog agility is... here is me & my Papillon competing at Worlds.

I put basic statistics of my workouts in a markdown file using an App where ALL my computer-file stuff goes - into obsidian / www.obsidian.md (see screenshot). Then this wonderful app „EasyDataTransform“ on Mac collects and does some statistics on those data. See screenshot.
cheers!, Martin

, so I decided to power through just the challenges instead and finish off a couple more. @Thanks for the congrats, @Jaga, @Princess Fancy, @Lady Celerity, and @Zenchan. I really appreciate it. 
Things are starting to ramp up and my weekends will soon be full of judging agility trials until the end of summer, which will only give me weekdays to workout. Might have to change up some P&Cs as time becomes more of a factor. Jogging might help with that. We shall see.

Figured I'd just do a few of the 'easier' challenges until that turned into more and I was half way through my P&Cs.
Then I saw the clock, and also realised I am an idiot to be staying up past 3am to finish them all.
So half were done, which is more than what I was originally planning on doing. NONE!
. I still have my treasure hunt chest reward for making it to the magma chamber - a full day of rest without losing my DAREBEE streak. I guess I will save it for another day.

I found the Dashboard announcement!! Admittedly I don’t know my head from myCongrats on completing FOUR new challenges!!
Loved the snowy pic! I’d love to jump naked in it right now. I’m melting here in Grenada. Tropical heat on a boat with a nice breeze blowing is one thing, while you’re sweating your a$$ off in a paved boatyard is an entirely different thing!
And how cool is that DASHBOARD! How did you find that?? What other cool things am I missing out on? You’re so techy and on the ball!![]()
these past few days.
