Last week Dad stopped by on his way to halifax for a work meeting and brought me the best Valentines present (from myself!): It is a lovely Royal King Roughout Trainer. It has flexible bars, so will fit most horses. It is very comfy to ride in and fits me very well. I couldn't be more happy with it :) Here is Thea trying it out:

We had a great ride with the saddle, and then that night a messy storm hit that left everything covered in ice. So I haven't ridden since :( It has been frustrating because it is Spring Break this week and I have more time than usual. But I guess I can't complain too much, March is almost here and with that, spring weather! I have lots to do with the horses anyway, I am taking care of two others this week, and I'm doing clicker training with Thea for my companion animal behaviour project.

My running plan is almost over! I had my first 30 minute run today, it was tough, but not impossible. I am going to have to come up with a new plan after I finish the next two workouts... I'm really only allowed to use the treadmill for 20 minutes, so I don't think I should hog the treadmill much longer than 30 mins. Maybe I will just increase speed/incline but keep running for 30 minutes? We'll see... There is also a button on the machine that says "5K run"... not sure what that entails LOL

This week I've downloaded a few movies to view... The Guardian, and Blood Diamond were both very good movies! I recommend watching them. One I would not recommend is The Marine. It was one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. Horrible acting and writing... So bad that it makes you laugh. Tonight I'm going to watch Flyboys... I'll let you know how that goes :)

I should do some studying, or school work of some sort... I have been kind of slack since break started! Hope everyone ejoys the rest of the week, and keep fingers crossed for riding conditions soon!
