Keepin it Real

WORKED UNTIL 9 LAST NIGHT.   But I was selling a truck to a friend, that's always a good reason to stay late!  Needless to say, I did not ride last night.  I'll ride tonight in between thunderstorms.  I want to polish my position for the Roy Toppings clinic this weekend.  I must look GREAT on my beautiful girl!  Well,  I try anyway.  I'm the type who cleans before the cleaning lady gets to the house, pulls weeds before the yard guy comes, and well, you know what I mean.  Anyway, here are this mornings running stats- really sad.  Excuse #1: was tired this morning from being in the barn late last night.  Excuse #2: It was humid out.  #3:  My plantar fasciitis flaired up.  #4:  I was disoriented because my GPS watch wasn't working.  #5: It's that time of the month #6: I was running into the wind!

Which one works best do you think?

6:35AM 3.67 mi- 11:22 ave.  Sucks!!!!!!!  See above excuses.

On the right track . . .

Last night's ride was dressage.  I can definitely tell when we've done more playing than working- she was stiff and it took a while to get her to soften.  We did alot of the +1 +7 exercises- (Jane Savoie) and spiraling at the trot- then got a few steps of shoulder in.  I put everyone to bed before the storms arrived. 

Up at 5:45am and out for my run at 6:30.  Stats:

3:02 Miles on the neighborgood route- lots of hills.
Ave 10:22

I need to get my butt in gear! 

Me after my last half marathon.  I dressed up as a cat and had a sign sewn on my back that said "Spay and Neuter your pets.  Support your local Humane Society!
Life is not meant to be ordinary- right?
