Cooler

Surprising what a north wind does.  It was cooler for our PM run yesterday...quite nice out actually.   I ran 6 miles with Karen and Jim.  Best part - Karen had to repeatedly tell me to slow down in the last few miles.  Averaged 8:02.  I'm feeling good and karen actually wants us to go just a hair slower so that is good.  Used my heart rate monitor and even when we were running 7:50's my heart rate was 148-155.  Better than I thought.

Riley looks like he is losing some weight - likely because it's hot and food is his lowest priority.  He likes grass and that's about it.  You just can't live on grass in this part of Texas.  Slight possibility he has a stomach ulcer so I am going to try him on an antacid.  If he does better he will get the high dollar ulcer treatment and then stay on antacids.  However, he doesn't fit the profile of  a horse with an ulcer.  He lives outside, has hay/grass available 24/7, eats very little grain and generally lives a stress free life.  Oh well, I may just have to have a skinny horse over the summer.
