Back in the saddle again...

Merry Christmas my friends, I hope y'all got what you wanted and get a chance to relax, wind down, and recharge for all the 2006 holds. We had fun with Sam on her first christmas and she's been in stimulation overload for the past 36 hrs. Which has lead to her eating like a horse and crashing into 3 hr naps and a good 12 hrs overnight.



I've got 6 hrs in the saddle over the past 3 days and if all goes to plan I'll have a my first real week of riding in a l-o-n-g time. The fitness is still at the 0 out of 10 range, but each ride feels a bit better. Not the for the back, it's the same, but its alittle better. I'm at a do it or give it up for good sort of spot, and I'm not ready to give it up... so I'll just fight through it.

It's been really windy, the kind that you are working hard pedalling down hill into the wind! Then you turn with the wind and start thinking about how much you'll get paid when Discovery calls to make you an offer. At first you think you're getting a birds eye view of Jeannie's navel, then it turns out you flirting with Flicka out there in the stable...
