Today's 5.5 mile run

It started out as a beautiful spring day and I had hopes of doing my 10 mile run, but of course by the time my breakfast digested and I was ready to go it was raining. I ran in the rain for 5.5 miles and called it good.

I saw some fun very Portland-y things along my run. I saw 2 toy horses at different locations tied to the old horse rings on the sidewalks LOL. Also in the lovely Sunnyside neighborhood in a lower hole on an old tree there was a painted fairy and mushroom.

When I got to Ladd's Addition, aka "The Vortex", I had to run through 4 different rose garden so as to not get lost and wind up in a parrallel universe someplace. Tomorrow will be interesting, as I try hot yoga at Core Power Yoga NW for the first time. I hope I don't pass out and that it's not too hoity toity (it's in the Pearl, a somewhat pretentious artsy-fartsy neighborhood). Details forthcoming tomorrow!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Portland sounds so interesting, a lot like Ann Arbor here, which is a country unto itself, possibly it even qualifies as its own universe (but I would describe it as more perpendicular to ours, not parallel). The University of Michigan is spread out all over Ann Arbor (or A squared as it is often called or A2) which explains quite a lot. There are tons of 1 way streets too so it is extremely easy to get lost there too (luckily when you run you can run down the wrong way if you had too I suppose).

Sounds like you had a fun run though. I'm looking forward to hearing about hot yoga. I've thought about trying it but I'm not keen on extreme temperatures and the idea of passing out in a yoga class seems too realistic for me! :-) I hope it goes well for you!

It sounds like a great run. Nice to keep an eye on interesting

things. My run is not so exciting in a nice way. I run in the

evenings when the kids are going to bed with DH and I keep en eye

out for safety. I don't want to get hit in the head KWIM? We live in

a nice neighborhood but night time isn't really a great time to run

alone. I am up to 2 miles now, (at 10/hr).

, I would love to be able to run at night but my neighborhood is a bit.... questionable.   I hope you take mace with you?  A friend of mine bought me some specifically for running that you can easily grip in your hand with velcro...

Hugs!

That's a good idea. I am always afraid in the dark but I go out and

try to be alert. I never listen to music to distract myself. I don't

think it's safe for women.

horse rings in the concrete?? cool !

i had to look that up, ive never seen that before.

when i did, i saw an article about the guy who started tying the

little horses to them. how cute! if i lived there, i would

tie up a bunch of little horses myself! but of course people

will steal them, which is what would probably happen around here

to the lovely fairy and mushroom in the tree.

ugh! thinking about it makes me feel mad,

:*carolyn.

.... who has had a grizzly day and doesnt need much to make her mad

Great job on the run. Have you even ran 10 miles in the rain before? I've walked in the rain before because I got caught in a down pour...my neighbor laughed at me. Have fun in class...visiting the other side of the tracks....I don't care for that part of town (so-called upper-class.)

Jen I've ran 10 miles in the rain for the Shamrock Run, but it ain't fun  Looking forward to hot yoga tonite, but if I wear the shorts I brought (recommended) my my big gut will show.  I guess I'll just have to go, beer gut and all, and do the work, it's my workout not theirs (one reason I like videos so much I can do yoga in a sports bra and underwear if I want to)

noone is thinking about your gut but you... they are all worried

about their own guts showing, or their butt cracks, or their

boobs. always remember that they put their special yoga shorts

on one leg at a time, just like you!

im dying to hear all about it!!!
