Personal: I have alway done some physical activity - aerobic classes, hiking, skiing, tennis.....started long distance running about twelve years ago when I was in the midst of a divorce. Go ahead 'run' with that metaphor. I joined a Galloway running group and still have several close friends from that time. I realised pretty quickly that I did not like the walk break method and found a wonderful coach who provided my schedules and training. I have continued to run but without guidance for several years. Now I am determined to actually run with a goal and a plan. I have even contacted the former coach.
I live in the beautiful northern California wine country where I must say our weather is always ideal, comparatively. I work full time, enjoy hiking, knitting, movies, plays............I actually enjoy it all!
I have one adult son who lives in Portland, Oregon and enjoy visiting there as that area is very runner friendly and has some great routes. Favorite Blogs: |
