Keeping busy

Saturday - ran 18 miles and it went well. Had a minor sinking spell at mile 16 but got my act together and finished nice and strong. What can I say...hot and humid. Short spell of minor butt pain.
Sunday - fantastic 5 miler on a road I don't often run on. Pretty much 2.5 miles up hill - turn around and 2.5 miles downhill.

Monday - Riley (the horse) choked. That means he got his dinner stuck in his esophagus and couldn't swallow it. Fortunately the vet was able to get it cleared pretty easily. Riley is a total light weight - he got a dose of sedation for a 600lb horse (he is 1100lbs) and it totally kicked his ass. He could barely stand up. Any way he spent a miserable 20hrs in a stall with no food and all his buddies were outside - I finally threw caution to the wind and put him back out with his friends on Tuesday afternoon since he wasn't drinking enough water. So far, so good.

Tuesday - I am at a horseshow this coming weekend so won't be doing the long run. I am going to do as much mileage as I can but I know I can't show my horse and run 18 miles on the same morning. I will run 5 miles on Friday, Sat and maybe a little longer on Sunday. Just depends how tired I am. Anyway, I added 2 on to the run on Tuesday for a total of 10.2. Felt great for the first 8 and then got over heated and dizzy on the last 2.
