Today's Plan: ride
The horse won out today. Although, since I went out first thing in the morning before breakfast, I'm pretty sure she didn't think she won anything. Saddle was very chilly at 7:30 in the morning, so not sure I won either. The bit was as well, which I tried to warm up in my hand before putting in her mouth.
I figured this week's mileage for running was not going to be much due to Mother Nature, and I really wanted to ride Charby. I never feel that she gets enough attention. After my ride, I had breakfast (she wasn't the only one out there on an empty stomach) and went out to help my husband.
My brother got a wood stove from my parents when they went to pellets. He never actually used it and it has been, annoyingly for him, gathering dust and in the way ever since. So he offered it to us when cleaning out his garage. After some dithering, we said yes and the next thing I know it was loaded in my car. I was afraid it would probably be gathering dust and in our way, but my husband has leapt into action.
This weekend we borrowed a wood splitter and went to work. Two cords of wood and some aching muscles later, our wood shed was 98% filled. And I certainly wasn't going for a run afterwards. But I am pretty sure I got an excellent workout: deep knee bends to pick up logs, weight lifting as we stacked the wood, core work as I twisted while lifting.
Next we need to get the chimney built. More on that later!
