The Harem

Runnin' with the big dogs!

March 8 found all of us runnin' with the big dogs, and here are the pics to prove it. The day was cloudy with glimpses of sun, and after doggie introductions, we started the loop. It is amazing how heavy a little camera can become when you run up hills. I am looking forward to the next one.

It was SO SUNNY!

Wednesday is my new favorite day, too!

THE RUNNERS: Chris (in 1st place), Steve, Sharla, Evalena, and Amydelle... they went counter clockwise.
THE WALKERS: Mark, Kate, Shannon, and Kim... they went clockwise.

The weather was perfect! I am so proud of us... and the trail is so close and convenient.

After the run/walk Sharla and I went to a pilates class at the 24 hour fitness Hollywood- we met Molly there. OMG! That cute instructor gal totally kicked our butts! I think it'll be my new Wednesday routine.

Wouldn't it be cool if when I layed on my side my stomach was flat? I bet that pilates class could make that happen for me!
We'll see.

Let's run the 3.6 Wildwood/Creek/Hemlock loop this Saturday! Because Garner will be busy saving lives in the morning (and Billy needs to sleep in)... we'll meet at 12 noon!

Also... rumor has it that a run/walker might join us. So, Garner's giving plasma and might need to be carried... and the run/walkers will need our encouragement! Yeah!!!!

And I'm considering bringing a dog or two, but not four.

Glad for Glendoveer

The last run around Glendoveer was exceptionally fun! I thought about all the different ages represented and how dedicated some were to killing themselves off with a blistering pace; however, the run tuned me into what a great resource Glendoveer is for our group because it has soft trail surfaces, a loop of 2+ miles (run it short or run it lots), and it is so nearby. The scenery is so great, too. Wednesday is my new favorite day!

Wanna Die

So I am sitting here on my couch reading all of this wonderful stuff you guy's have been doing, and the thought of running is sending me in to coughing fits! I wonder when my codine enduced coma is going to set in? If you dream about running does it still count?

In short, I am really excited about getting fit with all of you, it is just going to take me few more days before I can think about taking a full breath.

Carry on!!!!!

Yoga help

Hey all y'all,

I am looking for a beginning yoga class to go to twice a week. My flexibility (among other things) needs some help. I don't want to join a formal big scary commitment gym. I am looking for someplace I can pay by the class. I would like it to be either local to the HB Lee or to my homestead in SE Portland. Any suggestions?

P.S. I look forward to bringing up the rear on tomorrows walk/run.

Running with the Harem

Nothing like running the trails in Hoyt Park Arboretum unless it would be running them with five chicks. What you get is a big dose of yak-yak and alot of laughs. Ladies, you inspired me to new levels of effort inspite of my bringing up the rear...although your chit-chat mostly did that. I can only look forward to the next time.
