Endurance Challenge

There is a chance that I might take V's horse Jessica on a 25 mile limited distance endurance ride at the end of the month.  I've been riding a lot to get her in shape.  
Today, J took me to a nearby trail so I could see how she would do trotting out by herself.  I thought the trail was only 4 1/2 miles so I was trying to do it in an hour but it took and hour and 20 min.  When I got home I looked it up on the map and it was 6 1/2 miles so I was much more pleased with the time.  If we can keep up that pace for 25 miles, we might have a chance to finish within the time limit.  I told the family I would need a lot of help at the end, someone to take care of  the horse and someone to take care of me.

  1. Go K go. I'm sure your family will step up.

    I miss V and E. I had a good time when they came to visit. Tell E there is still a little life left in "old smokey" and she needs to come back for another campfire. Bone up on the ghost stories (and don't laugh at mine).
