I know I've been focusing on the RP, but I didn't realize how much it took away from other stuff...<br /><br />And thanks for gadget tip! I added it, so it should be easy for people to do! It's in the sidebar now, so anyone who wants to subscribe to my posts or comments should be able to! :)Crystal (Thompson) Barrerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738188430244886019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101438868458660054.post-51804418834364283622010-10-02T16:51:23.892-05:002010-10-02T16:51:23.892-05:00Hi Crystal, I think it may have something to do wi...Hi Crystal, I think it may have something to do with blogger, because when I comment as my google identity I get the subscribe by email link, but with just my name and URL I don't see that link. I will use the other identity and see what happens, Thanks!katie, maizey, and magnushttp://www.lessonsfrom4legs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101438868458660054.post-19798973296749445822010-10-02T16:49:09.880-05:002010-10-02T16:49:09.880-05:00for your blog as a whole I figured out I can do yo...for your blog as a whole I figured out I can do your RSS feed by typing in this in my reader:<br />http://reactivechampion.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default<br /><br />you can add a button though on your blog by adding a "gadget" to your layout called "Subscribe now" and then people can easily have the option to subscribe to your general rss or your comment rss.<br /><br />Oh and I'm really glad the relaxation protocol is working out so well for you!

In fact, I did a lot of visualization this spring, which helped a lot. I suppose what I should have written is that I have no way of TESTING my progress. <br /><br />Katie- I have no idea about subscribing to comments. Do you mean for individual entries, or the blog as a whole? For individual entries, I'm seeing a "Subscribe by email" link right below the text box. For the blog as a whole... I can't figure that one out. :(Crystal (Thompson) Barrerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738188430244886019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101438868458660054.post-7011519449804667292010-10-02T09:53:53.121-05:002010-10-02T09:53:53.121-05:00Crystal we would love to have you and Maisey join ...Crystal we would love to have you and Maisey join us! We try to keep it pretty relaxed, letting everyone set their own goals, but I keep the list updated with everyones progress so we can all encourage one another. It is fun when we have a list of people to check on their progress and I know it really encourages me when I see what others are able to accomplish. I should be doing the starting post in the next couple days. Seems I never get it going on the first of the month so I usually just do 30 days from this day to this day. <br /><br />When I have had a bunch of people in the past I have thought of giving some kind of virtual reward, a certificate or something, do you think things like that encourage people?<br /><br />If there is anything we can do that would make it easier for you guys let me know! <br />Katie<br />(BTW I can't figure out how to subscribe to comments by email anymore.

And then when I get back in the dogs had a good walk. I LOVE that you actually know your rate too!<br /><br />In regards to the trial goals (especially reducing ring nerves) you can work on them without actually competing.. when you have a minute imagine yourself at a trial you were really nervous at. Break down when and what you were nervous about. Rehearse the same actions mentally without the nerves. <br /><br />I actually put myself to sleep running old agility runs in my brain (good ones. I'm not prone to nerves anymore anyhow but just the rehearsal of relaxed flowing runs means I can run even when stressed now. <br /><br />I look forward to the next quarter report :)andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08911146116540091798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101438868458660054.post-60124733783015725142010-10-02T01:21:52.617-05:002010-10-02T01:21:52.617-05:00Wow Crystal and Maisy!

I may have to steal that.;) I am trying a month by month goal record in a new page on our blog. Hopefully that will help us stay on track.<br /><br />If it would help with your goal to increase physical exercise you can join our walking challenge. I always set a "so many miles in so many days" goal, I find that motivates me. But if anyone wants to join us they can always set their own distance goal, or whatever details help them. Then I post all of our miles so we can help encourage one another. We would love to have you, if it seems like something helpful.katie, maizey, and magnushttp://www.lessonsfrom4legs.comnoreply@blogger.com
