It was a pleasant temp day, but the evening rain was not about to let up so my sister and I went for a 6 mile run. Mostly flat with one long hill (about a mile long, gradual grade). We are getting along again, which is nice, but we have a love/intense dislike relationship. If my sister and I were not blood…we would probably not be friends, but I love the crazy girl. Didn’t get to give my filly Whisper a workout like I wanted to today, rode her yesterday and I am really excited about her! She is very intelligent, a little frisky, but quick to want to please me. Letting my campaign horse Flame have the week off as we have a 25 mile competitive trail race on saturday this week. Day after 25 mile competitive trail ride I have my first triathlon (kayak 4 miles, bike 14 miles, run 4).  Haven’t been kayaking since last summer, but I have been building up my arms alot all winter with swimming and weights. I will get in my kayak tomorrow evening as was my plan to do today, just the rain was a downer.

Day before my first 50 mile endurance ride of the season on my horse Flame, ran medium pace with sister on pavement in Rock Creek Canada. Had spend previous day (12 hours) in truck travelling to Rock Creek, so a little rusty feeling. Hot, around 85 degrees, and it was supposed to be 90 degrees the next day…such a temperature shock! Went from 40 degrees to 90…yikes!

Was tough getting up at 5 am to go for 6 am run, not a morning person but I am trying to learn how to be one! Good run, not necessarily a good training run, but fun to run with my friend Cassie!

Good four mile run, felt a little off…haven’t ran for a week (been studying for finals like a mad woman). Tomorrow is my most simple final, so I am not overly put out. Also took dogs for hour long slow walk, then mountain biked around town working like a mad woman at making sure I could get my clips undone. No near fatalities, so I tried to make sure that I was prepared well before each stop light that I was unclipped and ready to stop. It is pleasant not to be worried about being road kill, makes a bike ride more enjoyable! Biked 11 miles, thank goodness for my new bike pedometer/mph device (I got up to 22 mph on flat portions). All in all a wonderull day.
