Nice and mellow 3 miles

Thursday brought a nice three mile walk with Jenn and Julia.  Perfect way to start my day!  Thanks ladies for the catch up. 

Pushing the jog

Last night, I went for a jog by myself!  I did 2.5 miles in 36 mins and jogged 5 quarters of that.  It was awesome!  This morning, Jenn and I did our usual 3+ miles, but we jogged for one mile of that.  YES!  I am working on breaking down the mental hurdles that are keeping me from doing more jogging.  Today was a success! 

11.5 Miles

I've been burning the candle at both ends this week with hubby out of town.  This weekend has been no different...and I'm feeling it catching up to me.  However, I also needed to find some time for myself.  So, after an adrenaline boost from hubby (he fell out of bed at 6:15 this morning and woke me with a start) I was able to get up and out of the house for some trail time.  Jenn and I did 11 and a half miles on this cool, fall morning.  It was wonderful and although I was running low on energy at the end of our three hours, I made it.  I am forever grateful for my trail time with my dear, dear friend. 

An emotional 5 miles

Jenn and I did 5 miles this morning.  It was a release day for me, and boy did I.  So glad that what is said on the trail, stays on the trail.  The bubble of stress, emotion, and worry inside me had just gotten overwhelming...so I started leaking and just couldn't (didn't want to) stop.  Thank you Jenn, for letting me cry.  For listening to my heart.  For giving me some things to think about.  And thanks to a tired Darla, the child was quiet (asleep) for most of the time. 

Point Defiance 15K

Jenn and I enjoyed a beautiful race at the Point Defiance park in Tacoma, WA on Saturday.  It was a perfect fall day for it.  The cool air kept us motivated to move, and the scenery was amazing!!!  We had a fun time, as usual, and took lots of time for pictures and enjoying the present moment together.  We were blessed to see a bald eagle and a raccoon along the trail.

We do love our trees. 

A couple of 3 mile mornings

This week, Jenn and I have hit the trail on our usual mornings...Wednesday and Thursday.  Both mornings were dry and today we had fog.  I just love it when the spider webs come out after a foggy morning. 

Old robe river trail

Jeremy and I have enjoyed a beautiful weekend without our kids, and part of that included a hike at The Old Robe River Trail. I have been there before, but it was Jeremy's first time. The trail is about 2 miles out, following the river. There are old railroad tracks to follow and a cave to explore. Alot of the old trail has been lost, due to slides, but we sure enjoyed what was accessible. It was beautiful! 

3 miles

Last Thursday Jenn and I did our 3 miles, in a different direction this time. I pushed to jog a little, needing to burn off some emotion.

Damp 3 miles

The rains have come, but I am determined to keep on going! So, I purchased a cover for the stroller for Darla and she did well. Yay.

9 miles and a misty morning

Jenn and I did 9 miles this morning...in the soft, damp mist.  I was feeling silly and a little sassy.  We giggled alot, talked about tattoos, and flirted with the Army guys doing their PT tests.  It was a great way to start the weekend.
