8/15 Sumwon workout
 

Sumwonlovesyou's workout this morning:

4f 51.23 B fast.

Looks good to me! :)

Isn't that a little slow?

First work after the race, I'm guessing that is exactly what Chuck wanted.

No 1. - It's the Oklahoma track, not exactly speedy surface.
No 2. - She was 4 of 7, in the middle of a small sampling.
No 3. - Why does she need to go any faster?
No 4. - Chuck will weigh in on it before the end of the day.

Don't have to wait for Chuck to weigh in as he is in Kentucky.. Cherie was told to go between in between 49.0-51.0. That's what she did. Filly went fine.. Finished nice.. Wasn't even an effort... Just looking to take edge off.

Thanks for update Steve, work looked fine to me.

probably just wanted to blow out the carbon. :)

Thanks for the update , Steve. Seems like a good work & it will keep her happy..lol :D

I spoke with Cherie and she said that the work went fine. We weren't looking for anything big, just letting her stretch her legs a little, maybe take the edge off of her for a few days anyway. When I spoke to her this afternoon she said that she came out of the work fine, ate her lunch and looked good this afternoon. I will be back Friday afternoon. It is freakin hot in KY. 102 today in Versailles. That is like 125 for fat guys like me.

You will be delighted to know that the expected high for when you get back is a cold 70 degrees.

heat index of 110 here for the next few days. wonderful.

not keeping the deer from moving, one nailed me yesterday morning--drivers door of my work truck is demolished. just glad he ducked his head before he plowed into me!

goodness, I hope you're ok?!

oh yeah, he probably felt it more than i did. there were two of them that came running out of the woods (it was 4:30 am) and i saw them, slammed on the brakes and yelled oh sh!t. cause i knew i was going to nail one of them. first one got clear, second one ( a buck, small rack) ran into my door. like i said, just glad he put his head down, because he would have surely shattered the window if he hadn't. he was nowhere in sight when i stopped. i'm fine, adrenaline rush when it first happened....so, now i'll most likely need a new door, as it's dragging a bit when i open it--pretty crushed in! that's two deer, a turkey, and a buzzard in this truck(ford ranger)...

so, bad door, and the headlights are a bit cross-eyed now. and they jiggle.

the passenger side one got jolted when i hit the buzzard, and he broke the mount on the drivers side one yesterday morning. hell of a way to start the day.

I'm glad you're OK! That had to be very scary.

yeah, it was. always is when one comes jumping out, and i've been more nervous about it since we hit one with my mustang a couple years ago--5K in damage! from one lousy deer. it's crazy.

but living here, tons of wildlife...and the amount of miles i cover, and early in the day til late in the evening--all adds up to high risk of wild animal encounters.
now, the turkey last year was interesting. shattered the windshield (she hit dead center, even knocked the rear view mirror off kilter)....luckily i could still see to drive, as i was over an hour from home.
then, i go thru a security gate to get into a facility, guard asked my gosh, what happened? i said i hit a turkey.

she said 'frozen??' i will NEVER forget that one!! where in the hell are you going to hit a frozen turkey??!

and thanks!! we're trying to go injury free all year--this is NOT the way to do that!!

How far do you commute?

I remember in highschool friends of mine got charged by a moose because it was mating season and he thought they were a threat to his lady.

i don't commute. i'm operations manager for a vending company, and my area covers about a 200 mile square (or so) area...most of south east arkansas. so, lots of miles to cover.

That is a lot of travel!
