This past weekend Matt and I took a trip to Pt Reyes for a ride down the coast. He brought along his bike, I brought along Isabella. We staged at the youth hostel next to the Coast Trail and rode about 10 miles out and back. The Coast Trail is relatively flat and runs well.. right along the coast! It was the first time I rode Isabella since the Fireworks ride and she was striding out very well. I had been nervous because there was a bit of a lump on her right hind.. but she trotted out willingly and we even cantered for a long stretch. It's so nice to be able to trot/canter like that.. the trails around Pacifica are so hilly it's difficult to find a 10 foot stretch of good trotting! Anyways, we had a lot of fun although Matt's ass was pretty sore afterwards..

On Sunday I felt restless and anxious, which came out to being very whiney. I think I'm feeling very unsatisfied with certain points in my life right now and it's coming out in my personal life. I was grumpy and "mopey" <--Matt's word, and kept picking fights with Matt since picking fights with China aren't as fun. :P :P He was very tolerant of me and entertained me by taking me out for a drive. We searched for Mega M&Ms for a while (and found they weren't so Mega) and then spent a few hours at the book store where I looked through horsey magazines and Matt looked through graphic design magazines. We shared a yummy toffee bar and a decaf Starbucks coffee and went home content. I felt much better after that.

Need a vacation.. Camp Far West is over Labor Day weekend but I decided to forgo that ride, save on gas (which is over $3 for diesel! UGH) and hang around town. We may go up to Santa Rosa for a mini vakay. Wherever we go, I'm looking forward to RELAXING!
