Posted on 29 June, 2009 by Sally

Strange. We went to the opposite side of Lebanon Hills today (new routes, new chances to fall!) and it seemed as if a whole swarm of dragonflies decided to adopt us and fly with us at various points during the … Continue reading →

New favoritish race.

Posted on 27 June, 2009 by Sally

Lumpy, a friend, and I competed in the Tri-Loppet this morning in the hot, heavy air. Friend A did the paddle I did the trail run and the Lumpster rode the mud. (Shoulda seen his bike and face when done.) … Continue reading →

Running or Gninnur?

Posted on 25 June, 2009 by Toots

When I got back from Minneapolis I went for a chiro visit…you, know, to put everything back in it’s place….    Anyway, I went for a followup last week because I was having a lot of mid/lower back pain. The chiro noticed … Continue reading →

Asthma 25 million, Sally maybe 3 to 5

Posted on 23 June, 2009 by Sally

Posted on 23 June, 2009 by Lumpy

Today marked the official…”official”…beginning of my training for Portland. I’m a few weeks into the program I’m following–I accept that. But, ugh…today was 95 Billion °F for my kick-off run. Okay, I’m hydrated. I can do that. So I take … Continue reading →

Whooooosh!

Posted on 18 June, 2009 by Sally

I’d like to think that that is what people thought as I sprinted by today. I did 8×500 (once I figured out the frigging Forerunner 205, that is…). My fastest time was 6min/mile. I have blocked out my slowest time. … Continue reading →

Posted on 17 June, 2009 by Aunt I. Hill

It was so fricken’ hot yesterday, that I thought I’d cool off in the hotel pool. The pool is on the roof of the hotel (yes, closer to the sun) and the water was about the same temperature as a … Continue reading →
