healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long
taken for granted."

Congratulations go to Debbie. Her new Russian Arabian Tango
just passed his pre-purchase veterinarian exam. Tango was being evaluated for a
neurological condition called Wobbles. Tony, read up on the condition and put her
horse through all types of tests. Last Saturday, I suggested that he blindfold the horse and make his assessment.
According to Tony, the horse was sound and
fine. But Tuesday, they got a second
professional opinion. The veterinarians agreed with Tony that the horse
was fine.
So this means that Debbie will begin riding after many years
of layoff. Tony threatened Debbie by saying if she’s not going to ride Tango,
he’s going to in the Tevis next year. Linda is happy because now she has
another riding partner. This also means that very likely “ the girls” will be
riding their horses on the trail and
“the guys” will be running on the trail after them.
Randall, one of our injured running friends, is beginning
his rehab after a long rest. He is now beginning to walk with a little running
mixed in. Randall stated that his motivation is good and that he can’t wait to
run a marathon distance next year. Hopefully, Randall well slowly work his way
back into running shape without a hitch. It so difficult for some, not to push
the envelope. Sometimes , a competitive nature can get in the way of sound
judgment. It’s important that he doesn’t do too much too soon. Easing back
slowly after six month or so layoff is a prudent thing to do. I continue to
tell Randall to be smart. There’s no shortage of running events and next year,
there will be likely more. Return to
running shape Randall, so you can join us.
Thursday’s TV Guest on It Has Nothing to Do with Age or
Gender is Sports Medicine Martin Hoffman, M.D. This physician has done research
connected with the Western States 100 endurance run. All you runners, and
active individuals, view what he has to say.
Join Tony and I Saturday for a 35k trail run at Folsom Point.
In the meantime, keep moving, laughing, smiling, deep
breathing, bonding, and loving.
