Outside in November!


Got to love the sunshine! What a treat for November. Today I road in and get to ride home at lunch to let out little miss Miley, then ride back to work then home again at 5PM. If it was raining I might not be so anxious to commute twice in the same day. But for my new little gal it is worth the extra trip home.



Spent yesterday doing some yard clean up and mulching, it is amazing how mulch makes the garden look better. Miley spent the afternoon outside helping mostly like a union worker, sitting back and "overseeing" what I was doing.

We started puppy-kindergarten, she did great. She already can sit, sit stay, and come. All for treats of coarse!

Between commuting and spin class I am getting in more hours riding this fall than last. That is a good sign. My back is not improving but I don't expect that it will until there is some kind of intervention medically. I go to the spine doc on Thursday, keeping my fingers crossed that he will have a plan to make it better or more manageable. Sleeping is interrupted every night because of pain. Maybe the Temporpedic bed is in order, although I can't afford one now with vet bills and dog food. Oh well, I wouldn't trade my Miley.

Hey Michelle,
What a cute new pup! You lucky girl you. Sorry to hear you back is still bothering you - I found a new LMP to work with and she's good at helping injured athletes get back on their feet. Worth a try I suppose? Her name is Sarah Ellis 206-368-3987. She was a dancer and got in a serious car accident where the doctors told her she wouldn't dance again, and quite possibly not walk. 6 months later she was dancing again. Maybe she'll have a new spin on things?

Hope you're enjoying the sun!

What a sweetie! My sister-in-law calls that helpful role "stupervising." :) Hope you find the right therapy for your back.

Hopefully Miley will like to go to the track next year so I can race!!

Hey Martha, what is up with the recipe exchange? I only got one back :( bummer. Maybe you had better luck.
