Moving moving moving, get those feet a'moving...

Today began my official training for the Butte to Butte WALK with my prego  girlfriend Candice.  It may actually be the only time in our lives that we can walk together as she is a super fit runner, slowed down only by her brewing baby girl. I am so excited! It's a nice way to support each other in health and get a little extra girl time in. Oh and Bono (he does have all 4 paws, but he is a GREAT DANE and only one paw would fit in the pic) came along too!

So, for the first time in my history, I will be participating in an official race... holy crap! Ladies and gentlemen, I am telling you, it's just not wise to say never. At least in my life, I end up jumping out of airplanes, training for an OFFICIAL race,  and other assorted oddness when I do. That's a story for another time. 

Our 4 mile walk today was pretty mellow, it was an early, overcast morning. Cool but not raining! I took some springtime pictures along the way to share with you. Forgive the quality of the photos, best I can do with my trusty iPhone while trying to keep the heart rate up!

 

Those are Canada Geese, and their babies along the Willamette River.



A community garden looking good. Updated pics of our garden coming soon! 




We did indeed take a small sweet moment to stop and smell the wild roses along the path ... oh my the scent was all ROSE and heady indeed!

Ah, Spring! I am sure to have more pictures of our walks, which I will share. We are off to a good start! Say a small prayer or wish me luck as I once again dive into the unknown and challenge myself to do something new!
