Yeah. Uh huh. Sure you are...not.
Exactly. I didn't. But what I did do Sunday was get out there at 7:30 am, decked out in my running attire, heart rate monitor ready...and took Gemmy for a jog.
Heading out, my goal was to make it at least to 137 without stopping, which seemed like a challenge. But once Gem got over his initial lazy-ass attitude and started jogging with me, it was really fun! He trotted along in the grass on my right side, and I'd turn to comment to him about how much my glutes sympathized with his, trying to keep pace up the hills, and I also took some action shots.
Patti and Grace met us in Adler Woods where we decided to see if Grace would "pony" Gem. Grace was so cute, he was the "big boy trailhorse" and had to take the lead for Gem, something new for everyone.
Notice that Patti maintains correct leg position as Gem plants his hooves firmly and says, "This broad's crazy if she thinks I'm going with them!"
Once we convinced Gem to trot up, they ponied very well together. Gem didn't even try to boss Grace around and just trotted by Gracie's side like a big red puppy. Patti took them well down the trail and back, while I tried to keep up and take more pictures.
Finally we all headed back to the barn, me still on foot. Gem was quite a bit perkier and somehow I kept up with everyone, running my ass off.
