How the crazy starts
| March 12, 2016 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Hands down buying this house and renovating it is the most time consuming thing I’ve EVER done. Horses, running, writing, blogging has completely gone by the wayside. Here’s a little piece. The best part of this project is that we have a hard deadline of getting Phase 1 done since our apartment lease ends near […] more
March Link Luv 2016
| March 3, 2016 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Dismal but not non-existent! Aarene writes about keeping her dragon occupied while on stall rest. Been there, done that my friend. It’s why Farley knows how to drive – why just walk when we could walk and learn something. I found myself nodding along with Irish Horse. YES leap day is special. Maybe I’m a nerd […] more
February 2016 IRL
| March 2, 2016 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Ponies Farley got a ride and a drive. A friend did me a favor and widened my cart shafts and it makes ALL the difference. Farley trots freely in the cart now and the Smuckers harness is a joy to work with. MerryLegs got regular maintenance done like hoof training but didn’t come out to […] more

Oh boy the things I learned at this year’s convention! The most beautiful words in the English language is “4-wheel drive, go ahead” in the chain area of Donnor pass. Lanes are entirely imaginary during active snow storms. Nevada is definitely sparks joy. I’ve been paying attention more to what things spark joy. It started […] more
February is the longest month
| February 17, 2016 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
As I long suspected, February IS the longest month of the year, Aarene said so. My train of motivation left the station at the beginning of the month and is currently whereabouts unknown. The horses are still in cryofreeze until Daylight savings (currently t = 25 days) but on day 6 of sitting inside watching […] more
American Canyon 25k Race Report
| February 8, 2016 | Posted by Melinda under Event Report |
The truths of Saturday morning were as follows I most definitely had a cold. Unless it was progressively worse allergies. But probably not. So most definitely probably a cold. This race was a “C” race, meaning that I was treating it like a long run. Thus the cold wasn’t a deal breaker and I was […] more
