The Gremlins are quiet for now
| July 8, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Despite my conviction that the only way to insure a sound horse at a major event is to not actually at *any point* go and see them in the days leading up to the event, I went for a run with Farley and Tess. I wanted to give my burro style running a try again, […] more
Mel is getting Married
| July 8, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Mel's Life |
I wasn’t sure I was going to post something about this, since it was *nothing* to do with horses or endurance, but I got enough interest in my relationship status change, that I put this little post together for you guys. We aren’t sure exactly what we are going to do for the “getting married” […] more
Plethora of mini-posts
| July 6, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Only 4 or 5 days until I leave for championships and 35 miles of awesome ride and tie for Team Hot Mess. Between preparing for championships and planning what the heck we want to do for our wedding (hoping to have a semblance of a *plan* by next Sunday), I’m not sure how much blogging […] more

Even at the tender age of two, I want “get into the trailer” to be a completely automatic response as quickly as possible. it might save […] more
June IRL 2014
| June 30, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I predicted in the May IRL post that June would be a quiet month based on the sheer volume of work I had done in May. Sure enough, June brought reduced mileage, runs, and rides – but not necessarily for the reasons I predicted. Instead a hamstring injury and family tragedy sidelined me for […] more
Bad News over happy pictures

Yep yep yep it’s been a stellar day. But since the MerryLegs session went well, all is well with the world and this post is only slightly tongue in cheek. Because of course the bad things are far more entertaining than hearing about how I put the first ground driving foundations on ML, how she […] more
