| February 22, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
The weather held out and my boss agreed to my “work Saturday plan”, so Farley and I went off to Del Valle in Livermore on Thursday. I was out for either 2 or 2.5 hours, and did somewhere between 14 and 16 miles. My GPS batteries died half way through. You wouldn’t know by looking […] more

I wanted to mention briefly what bits I used with what horse. This was suppose to go into the “Obsessions” post but I already mentioned my brain took a vacation the last couple of days.

THREE times as many readers would “gladly” attempt a 50 mile horse ride, then chose painful injury. I wonder how that would have changed if I had put 100 miles? Ever since I could remember I’ve wanted to go further. Not necessarily faster, but FURTHER. I was the little girl that dreamed about running away […] more
