Sunday laziness
| August 17, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I have a number of half started, barely edited drafts right now….and instead of making any of those coherent (which seems like a lot of work as I sit here in my recliner in the living room), I’m going to write about whatever random thing pops into my head. This is a no-guaranteed pony content […] more
August 12 Pony Play
| August 13, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
It was pointed out that I have been lax in posting Merrylegs pictures. Mostly because my photo opportunities look like this: Tonight I went out to the stable and made a point of taking along the camera. Only to turn it on and find out that somehow the photo card had gotten “write protected”. Major […] more
Of Goals, Flexibility, and the future

At the beginning of every month we discuss what happened in the previous month – miles ran, hours ridden, events finished. I call these “IRL” posts and they are designed to give people who stumble across this post a real time look at actual amount of conditioning I do in order to ride (or run!) […] more

I know, this isn’t the post you wanted to see. You want to see MEL’S FIRST 50 MILE ULTRAMARATHON story. Well. I have sad news for you.

As you may have guessed from the volume of posts, I’m really stressed. I’m on call (first shift tomorrow) in a section of the hospital I’ve never been in (the equine barn) by virtue of my decision to take large animal ultrasound. I’m not reassured by my classmates’ look of concern when I tell them […] more
Let’s create better divisions
| July 30, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Call it “shiny buckle syndrome” but there seems to be no limit to the stupid chit we put ourselves through for a bit of bling, even with no prize money on the line. Divisions can add that extra bit of motivation to participate in events, where just merely completing isn’t enough to climb into our […] more
5 unrelated things
| July 30, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I’m completely unmotivated to do anything besides sleep and play with Tess on the floor. I’ve ridden….once since the ride and tie event. And….I’ve ran…..once. Physically I’m fine, mentally and emotionally I just feel a bit unstable. It feels like the predictable “post goal event” blahs so I haven’t put the thumb tacks in (yet) and […] more
