NEW CHALLENGE begins......

February 1,2015-

Skyler in Coaching Mode!

 

Today is the start of my challenge for Pam.....a PLANK challenge......whereas she started with a one minute plank today, tomorrow she will holding that plank for 2 minutes, and everyday doing another minute of planks......she will be adding different planks into the mix in the next 28 days, BUT always adding minute everyday. She may add a side plank......(it could be 30 seconds on each side or a full minute) depending on the day.....BUT her goal is set to do the required minutes in PLANKS- it will be easy for her to know how many minutes she needs to do as the minutes will coincide with the day of the month!.......Think she can do it......I DO!

Here is the first video:

 

Just a little about my story......

I am a German Sheppard Mix who came to be with Pam and the rest of my pack back in 2001 through the way of Huntington Animal Shelter. And I have loved every moment of my life since! Pam and I have become the very best of running partners and now Doga and Pupilates partners as I was forced into retirement. Actually I think that running and walking everyday with Pam has seriously put off the onset of this neurological condition I have. I was diagnosed as being a carrier of DM- that is Degenerative Myothpathy back in 2009 I believe, of course I was always a carrier of it! BUT signs of this condition took awhile to show as Pam kept me strong and healthy. And I kept her strong and healthy. As of today, I really cannot get around on my own but thankfully I have my best friend ever Pam. (I know she is frustrated but not at ME at the DM, as she really can't twitch her nose and make it all better! She tells me everyday she wishes she can do just that! She gives me special vitamins, does Doga and Pupilates with me.....she helps me get around, and doesn't give up on me......

 

I want to hang in there as long as possible to each Scout how to run with Pam properly, and to teach him how to be a good no great pack member. I will be appearing in this months videos with Pam as her coach....and motivator......holding on and doing my share.......

 

In the meantime, because Huntington Animal Shelter brought us together this CHALLENGE is also now turned into a fundraiser for one of the greatest shelters on Long Island! I want to give back to the shelter who helped me find my furever home with Pam, Sandy, Candycane, and Scout- and Benji although he lives next door!

 

Won't you help me help the shelter and the rest of the dogs out there?

Here is the link to donate- by the way, the money goes directly to the Shelter, I do not see any of the money BUT have the satisfaction of coaching Pam during this time and knowing I did some good for a great organization!

Come back tomorrow for more updates on our challenge......

I think tomorrow's 2 minute plank will challenge Pam a little more and we'll talk more about the fundraiser during the challenge.......I will be coaching her in the video I hope! I'll try! Today I just had to rest!

Good night, Skyler!
