Coolest RnT pics!
| October 16, 2013 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
First off – here’s the link to LAST year’s story (2012) in case you missed it. It’s interesting. A LOT of similarities between 2013 and 2012. I was actually not that sore after this year’s race either. I’m a little trimmer this year, but not by much and didn’t train as hard, even though I […] more
The coolest ride and tie part 2
| October 16, 2013 | Posted by Melinda under Ride and Tie, Uncategorized |
Even starting with the pack this year, I was quickly alone running along the trail. I was running at my “expected” pace, but I was huffing and puffing more – my asthma flaring? allergies? I’m not sure, but I felt more like a sturdy mule doggedly pounding down the trail instead of a fleet jack […] more
The Coolest RnT 2013 part 1
| October 14, 2013 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
If I seemed less prepared than last year for this ride and tie event, perhaps the following timeline will give you a clue why. Saturday Oct 5: Whoo hoo! this is going to be fun. Sunday Oct 6: Uh Oh. Stashi is super lame on right hind. Very likely a shoeing issue (just shod), stepped […] more

Everything […] more

My my my it has been a long time! Long enough that this post deserves to be a “what Mel has done in the last couple weeks” so we can be all caught up on recent events, and thus ready to dive into other topics. 1. History essay. Thank you for everyone who has given […] more
Another post in which I should be studying
| September 25, 2013 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I’m convinced that you, My Dear Reader, have all the answers to the very difficult questions that come up in my life. For example – What topic should I write my Ride and Tie Scholarship on? –> My winning submission was the DIRECT result of a reader question, and a series of posts. Or, should I […] more
I am…."Worst Crew Ever"
| September 23, 2013 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Editorial note: apparently I’m scaring people. Rest assured this is a post that is written tongue in cheek. Me and Funder both agreed that worst crew every is the BEST…you know – in that “worst sort of way”, and I had a lot of fun, and was very caffeine deprived (forgot to drink caffeine because […] more
