[RC] time for riding - heidi sowards

I am lucky too, my property backs to Weyerhauser/Gifford
Pinchot and gravel/dirt logging roads. Right now I don't
have a truck or trailer, so it works out ok. I can ride for
miles, lots of hills, but finding the time in the winter
and the Pacific NW rain is tough. (I'm a wuss!) 2 kids, one
with homework problems, a 40 hour per week job and a 45
min. drive either way. Right now I'm just riding on
weekends and just for 5-10 miles per ride. It helps that my
boyfriend supports me riding and does meals/kid stuff when
I need him to. When March rolls around the the daylight is
longer I'll throw in a couple of evening rides and just
come home in the dark. Since I have alot of hills, it seems
to work ok. Of course I've only just trained for 25's and
50's. Have a new(er) horse and he's only been under saddle
a year, so this schedule will help keep me from overdoing
it. By the end of July I hope to have him up to 50's. We'll
see!

40 hours in the office.  Don't forget drive time, in
my case that's about 2 hours a day.

I am lucky in that respect.  I work 5 miles from my house
and takes me 20 minutes if the traffic is really heavy. 
My horses are 10 miles from home and that only takes
about 20 minutes every evening...
