Wandering Minds
| January 10, 2011 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
We’ve touched on before that my mind does not “shut off”. I’m always thinking something – and some of those thoughts become full-fledged posts. I’m usually thinking either about the future and “what if” plans, or I’m thinking about the past in the context of how I can do something better in the future. Or […] more
Food for thought?

Just had an aha moment…. (and yes, I’m still on blogging vacation – I swear!) Farley has arthritis in her left hock that warrents injections, but the right hock flexes clean. (both hocks still get injected). Today, as I wait at my desk anxiously awaiting the clock to magically speed ahead to 1pm so I […] more

Hilarious post here. Post isn’t specifically horse related…but the blog title is and that counts for something right? BTW – this post doesn’t actually count as posting. Because I’m not actually writing anything. So technically I’m still on blogging vacation. more

I ran last night. In the rain and the wind, through the flooded streets and sidewalks. You see, I’m toying with the idea of an ultra marathon again. When I mentioned it this morning to S*, my co-worker, her response was “why?”. I hate why questions. S* and I have discussed how it seems that […] more
Cha-ching
| December 29, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
It’s useful to look at “sister” sports to explore possibilities for endurance. Eventing is a “sister” sport because of what it demands from the horse, among other reasons. Another sport I consider a “sister” sport is that of ultramarathon running. I’ve toyed with the idea of running ultramarathons (and once expressed that idea to my […] more
