Dog Agility Trial: how would you handle it?
This weekend I am running a one day dog agility trial. Next weekend I am running a 2 day trial. These are busy days- lots of hauling gear, walking, working the rings, walking courses, running my own dog, etc. This is the first time am negotiating these while on MFP. They really aren't a thing I can readily quantify as far…

I would live to use an ap for Android that would suit the purpose of tracking our distance. Actually just my distance - they get a ton more miles in than I ever will! Is there…

I added a profile pic.
A real one. Not one artfully crafted in my minds eye or using any post processing. Not one I dressed for or prepped for. But a spur of the moment, "this is what I really look like today." It is a reality check because if you ask my brain, my brain would tell you that I look different. But I don't look different and THAT is…
