I spent the week in the Smokey Mts of TN with some girlfriends riding our endurance horses. We rode 33 miles on Monday, and I ran (on foot next to my horse) about 10 of it, mostly downhill. Man, my downhill muscles hurt! I chose to not ride on Tues - my horse needed a rest day - so I ran the roads but only four miles, and mostly uphill. Rode 18 on Thurs, with about 6 on foot (I have a gps) and rode 10 with about 4 on foot on Friday. Soooo, I had a good week - nothing hurts too badly!! I am back in NY now and back to the gym tomorrow. I may try to road bike there, though.

I am getting ready for a trail run (22K) on May 1, and then the Western States trail run training over Memorial Day (34, 20 and 20 miles). I think I am nuts.

Despite all the running and riding, I am still 10 pounds up from last summer. What's with THAT????

Run, girls, run.
