Zeljko lesson 4 - 1st try



Never ending injury story is continuing! 
Koto torn her toenail and been limping around for one week. but it was very mild injury and she is finally back in training! phew!! 
琴ちゃん、公園で遊んでいる最中に指をなにかに引っ掛けたようで、1週間程ビッコだったのでトレーニングは2週間おやすみ。でもかなりマイルドな怪我だったので本当によかった。とりあえず回復。とりあえず一安心。。そしてとりあえず練習再開。。。

ジェリコとのレッスンは4コースめ。 
あ、結構簡単そうじゃん!と見た瞬間は思ったけど、、琴はニアじゃないので簡単ではなかったです(笑)得にあんなに練習したForced Front Cross..なんでこうタイミングとポジションがずれてしまうのでしょうか。。 ダブルブラインドクロスも1秒遅い。
ピンウィールは広がる広がる。。
課題だらけ〜
でもラップターンはとってもいい感じ!とっても良い所も沢山あるので、
後はジェリコ先生が何て言うかそわそわしながら待ちましょう〜!

Here is our recent backyard fun with Zeljko's lesson. 
This is Koto's 4th lesson with Zeljko, but feels like we have been doing this course for ages! well, I guess it is because we always have those injury recovery period :P 

At first time I saw the course, I thought.. oh, it looks piece of cake!! 
but then realised that Koto is NOT Niah..  I practice FFX so many many times, but my position and timing are still late! Also double BX is also a second late. 
Pin wheel on #7 is wide and wide and I am always on her way... dahhh!!

BUT great thing is we have great lap turn :) I just need to wait for what Zeljko says!

Niah's rehab




ニアの足の治療から11週目。先週からピーナッツボールに2分(座る、立つ共に2分)キャバラッティ8往復、それから週に5日程6キロの散歩をしています。
本当にまじめにリハビリをしていて、今週はもの凄く急な坂道も散歩に含めたりビーチで沢山泳いだりしました。長距離の散歩や泳いだりを一緒にしているだけで
日に日に自分の足が強くなって来ているのを実感しています。 ニアと琴の足も強くなって来てたら良いな(いや、絶対なってるはず!!)レーザーセラピーも2週に一回に減ったし、来週からはジョギングも始められるとの事! 速くニアの足〜 よくな〜れ!
It has been already 11 weeks since Niah's PRP injury operation. 
We started Peanuts ball exercise for 2 min (sit and stand) Cavalatti for about 8 returns, 
and we have been night walking for about 1.5hours (About 6km 5days a week) 
This week we included hard hill on our walk, and did lot of swimming at the beach. 
I feel my legs are getting stronger :) Hope Niah and Koto's legs are getting stronger too!! (For sure !!) 

Lazer therapy decreased every 2 weeks now, and we will start jogging after 12 weeks. 
I really can't wait for him to start running again. He is a bit overweight now.

never ending practice recipe



年末、日本へ出る前に一生懸命練習したFFXはかなり褒められたんだけど、
前回送ったビデオではなんだ、また同じことしてる!前回は良かったのに、、、
って感じなコメントを頂いてしまったので
再度FFX 練習練習。。ラップターンなどもダメだなぁ〜
コンタクトも全然練習してないし、タイトターンもやり直さなきゃだし、、
いつまでたっても練習だらけ。

Keep on practicing!! 

Zeljko liked my FFX just before I left to Japan, but the last video, he was again dissapointed.. :(  so I was really careful with timing and position this time. 

Call to my side to Lap turn needs to practice as well.
those are my biggest challenge at the moment!
We are also getting back to basic, started tight turn and cik/cap re-training. 
I think its time to pull my Dog Walk out soon.. No contact training for ages!!

Never ending training receipes!!

Summer weekend in Melbourne









わおぉあっという間に2016年、1月が終わっていました。
あまりブログをゆっくりかけなかったけど、琴もニアも相変わらず元気です!
メルボルンはとにかく水不足に入りかけていて、どこもかしこも乾燥していてカラカラだったのですが、ここ2週間程、一気に夏のモンスーンのような気候に覆われ、とにかく沢山雨が降りました!お陰でカラカラで殆ど死にかけていた茶色の庭の芝も緑に復帰!

 そんなわけであまりアジリティの練習は出来ていません。週末は友達の家のある
ビーチを訪ねる事がおおかったかな。
ニアはまだビーチで走られませんがPRPの手術からすでに10週間!あと2週間でジョギング開始できます!!リハビリは今のところ順調です!

OMG!Already finished January of 2016!

I didn't write much about our adventure, but we are doing pretty well. 
It's been so dry - our back yard was completely turned to hard dried ground with nearly dying brown grass, but then -  we had precious rain!! a lot of rain... a bit too much rain!!! 

Not much agility actions these days.   We are just hanging out at the beach during the weekend and its been wonderful !Niah still can not run on the beach, but so far, his rehab is good - It's been 10 weeks since PRP operation!! Can't wait to finish our 12 weeks of rest and star running again.
