And the hits keep coming

Colfax Novice AQHA Show – Double Trouble!

So Jaime and I took our double registered awesomely cool and flashy AQHA horses, Ace and Kharma to the Novice show on April 4th.

My last words may be darn you Jillian!

So I am doing Jillian Miacheals 30 Day Shred – oh my goodness she is going to kill me.  After the first day I wanted to cry, I am now on Day 3 and am whimpering.  My quads are killing me and I mean KILLING ME but I have never worked out so much in [...]
