What, no more free food??

Wouldn't you know it? No sooner had I worked up the courage to dress a dove than the danged birds are avoiding my windows in droves.

Poor Adrián, not knowing what to do with me, sent questions to my rheumatologist as to how to program my training sessions. The rheumatologist had some good suggestions (he said my heart rate and cholesterol levels are fantastic) that have to do with just staying at a certain training rate with peaks and valleys depending on hills, etc. He told me, however, that no matter how ghastly I feel, I have to do something even if it is walking a block. He always asks if I've been riding, because that is his parameter for terminal depression--if I don't ride, he gets worried and begins glancing at his prescription pad, wondering if antidepressants are in order. I assured him that I now have another horse, Gitano (Gypsy), and find myself in both mourning and excitement at the same time. The combination is not recommended, believe me. But coming across exactly the kind of horse I was looking for so soon (I expected the search to last weeks and weeks) meant that I either took the chance or let it go, so I took it, and Gitano is installed at the quinta lookin' good. Pictures will come next week.

Yesterday three older ladies were marching along the path covered with pants, long-sleeved shirts, and short-sleeved shirts over those, plus extra pants over the main pair. Someone may have told these ladies that you can loose weight sweating, but the fount of information forgot to mention that it is all water weight and you could end up with heat stroke to boot. Also, another lady, again older, had on a modest top, a pair of sweat pants, and over the pants she wore a gauzy little short skirt that covered her rear end and fluttered flirtatiously in the breeze. What is with these people??

Also, I have located someone in my training group that is anorexic for sure. If she has 10% body fat, I'll eat my running shoes. And speaking of eating, guess who is going to have to pay up with a pastel de tres leches, come August!!!
