    Coffee anyone ?

    Howdy all! Been a busy last couple of weeks. Had goals and intentions of getting up to run this morning, mostly to help my sanity before work. But decided this morning that sleep sounded better. Guess I'll run after work. Home stretch of the summer here. Been a hot one in CO, and a few wildfires...

    Hazy and hot here. Helped a friend with sheep all morning at the County Fair. Came back to check on dogs, and headed back soon to watch the pig show. Going to have to go for a late run tonight.

    Coffee anyone ?

    Mid to upper 80's here in Colorado. Hottttt. Worked this morning, taking a break because I am house sitting for 6 dogs, but then back in a bit to feed dinner to horses, and then heading to help a friend get sheep ready at the County Fair.

    Coffee anyone ?

    I really would like to hear from someone who still believes in Joe. Just to see their mental state. Even my Grandpa with Alzheimers said something about how crazy Joe is. Also, back from a week of vacation with the family. Didn't have cell service for about six days, and enjoyed almost every...

    Coffee anyone ?

    Been a busy week here. In the 100's outside too. Worked all week, someone had a challenge going at work promising ice cream for whomever trimmed the most goat feet. More of a challenge for the volunteers, but I did 31 of the 45 goats while working. Also been house sitting two fun dogs, so that...

    Anybody else noticed that if an Antelope sees your car coming down the road, it will run away, while a deer will walk right into the road?

    Coffee anyone ?

    Fun day of work today. Definitely needed that. About to start making some hamburgers for dinner. Knees are feeling good, was worried but because I don't run a ton on the roads, all is good. Finishing up house sitting for someone who gets back late tonight. Going to go back to work when the...

    Coffee anyone ?

    @Margali That does not sound fun. We had nearly 3000 ft elevation gain today. Two weeks ago, I had 7k over the milage. I am torn between enjoying the mountain views, and the brutal pain of the climbs. So are my knees.

    Coffee anyone ?

    Poka went hiking today with friends... Genius Poka on a rest day thought casually hiking 18 miles would be fun. Real Poka had to get up at 4 this morning, hiked 22 miles, and is questioning why. Oh well, I will just enjoy reading vehicular advice. Been blessed with a BF and good friends who can...

    Coffee anyone ?

    Upper 80's here today. Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler. Just my luck I suppose, I work outside during the week, and it has been a little brutal this week. Really should have coffee here, think I need it. Suppose I can go heat up some apple cider for my morning drive. House sitting and doing...

    Coffee anyone ?

    My feet definitely have seen some things... And unfortunately I really struggle to rest, especially when people around me are not resting. Somehow that means I was working cows horseback less then 48 hours after I finished my race. With this week being my only week off this summer, I really just...

    Coffee anyone ?

    Obligatory checking in to let everyone know I am still alive. Went and moved stuff from my apartment to my house that I'll live in for a couple months. Somehow was quicker then I thought it would be. Also by the luck of it, got to watch BF graduate along with a lot of our friends. Said some...

    Poka_Doodle's journal

    Pictures coming soon I hope. Saturday I crossed a finish line while sobbing. A finish line from a 52 mile race that had taken countless hours and sacrifices to accomplish. The Mountains of northern Wyoming are no joke. They took out some of the toughest runners out there. Creeks, mud, countless...

    Coffee anyone ?

    Chilly here. Fed the chickens and got some coffee. Hoping to use today just to rest. Going to check cows in a bit, doctored one calf with my dad last night. Will discuss more in my journal, but survived an adventure of running, think I was actually just south of @Weldman in the northern part of WY.

    Coffee anyone ?

    Guess I’m here before coffee. Woke up to my 2:15 alarm blaring. Off to run 52 miles. Will come back later if I’m still alive to tell the story of the race.

    Coffee anyone ?

    Really honestly should consider more. Just have my 8 ewes and 1 ram. More of an investment flock for me, but adding a few more wouldn't add much work. Do have lambs on the way :weee Set my alarms so I'd get up at 5:45, was able to be wide eyed at 5:30. Trying to make things work so I can go to...

    Coffee anyone ?

    Sounds scary Margali, glad everything is ok. Record heat expected later today. Glad I'm going to Wyoming for the next week. Actually leaving after work to head up. Might meet my ram that I bought right after I left. Considering buying some dorper ewes from a Colorado breeder to get a bigger...
