Ahhh Oregon

AHHHHHHHHHH!

I have never felt more certain that this rainy, mountainous, luciously green place

was my HOME.

We are still adjusting to Kansas,

and we'll probably be there for a few years,

but I think whenever we return here for a visit...

or for good, it will be home!

For the time being, I am going to thoroughly enjoy it!

ALL of it!

: )

and hopefully get some pics posted as well

Let's Go Running!

I've never really been a "true" runner. I ran in highschool, did a little leisurely running (here and there) in college, but have never stuck with it. Yet I still have this fantasy of getting up early in the morning and enjoying the daybreak with a nice long, refreshing run! (oh! And the glutes and thighs are a nice perk)

My biggest deterent though is that I am an "all or nothing" type and so I often start off too fast and try to go too long, resulting in burn-out and abandoning my work-outs all together. LaME!

So, I tracked down a little "Couch to 5k" training for beginners (at this my ego greatly protests, but I am humbly submitting to the fact that I AM, at this point, a Beginner!). If anyone's interested in joining me, I'll be keeping my weekly training plan updated in the side-bar. I started last week, but since it was the 4th and my schedule got a little off, I'm going to do week 1 again, starting this week!!!

P.S. Though there has been a little more huffing and puffing than my fantasy envisions, I am LOVING greeting the mornings outside!

After a few months of my first posting

I was compelled to make it private,

feeling self-conscious about just "anyone" seeing my pics....

However, after seeing that two wonderful friends

(thank you Lindsey and Addie)

made positive comments.

I am ENCOURAGED to keep it open!

So, here's my personal invite to YOU!

I also posted something fun,

for any first-time viewers.
