But there has been a few good things this week. I've ridden twice!! The weather has been amazing. Wednesday night 5 of us rented the indoor. It was a lot of fun. Thea was very good for not being ridden in almost 4 weeks and for never being ridden in the scarey indoor. Our second ride was sooo good. She loves to stretch her head down and was going so well after about 15 minutes that I just stopped early.
Here is Thea in her new attire. She's hoping to be a western pleaure horse :)
Other details...
I've started the "Couch to 5K" program. It is designed to get people who don't do a whole lot (e.g. me) to be able to run 5 km in two months. I just finished week three and am onto week four! And you only have to run 3 times a week. Yes I've actually gone to the gym here at school. Amazing. Hopefully I'll keep it up... if the weather wasn't so nice for riding it would be easier LOL. This week shouldn't be too bad... start with 5 minutes of brisk walking, run 3 min, walk 90 sec, run 5 min, walk 2.5 min, run 3 min, walk 90 sec, run 5 min, walk 5 min. Next week looks a bit more scarey ending with a 20 minute run with no walking... hmm. Will have to see if I can make it!

Hope you get the course stuff sorted out. Thea is looking good with the new gear. Speaking of gear you should invest in good running shoes. I'd check out the local sporting stores. Best if you can try a short run in them ie on a treadmill (plus send the bill to M&D ;-)
Wow! Thanks Dad!! :) Once the student loan comes in I will have to take a look to see what is available. Todays workout was tough at the end finishing the last 5 minutes LOL I am a bit nervous about having to run 20 minutes at the end of next week. Haha.
Good for you Steph! I've started running too. (this week :P)
Good luck with your 20 minute run! :)
