Butterthebean 8,146 Posted June 23, 2013 If you have time' date=' and the transportation to, be sure to visit Multnomah Falls near Portland. It is beautiful. And if you have even more time, visit Canon Beach and Seaside on the coast (about an hour drive west). An interesting trivia fact is the movie Goonies where the Pirate ship sailed out of the rocks was filmed there. Oh yeah, I am a child of the 80s! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multnomah_Falls http://www.ci.cannon-beach.or.us/ http://www.cityofseaside.us/ http://www.filminamerica.com/Movies/TheGoonies/[/quote'] We spent 4 days in Canon Beach last year. All I can say is....I was definitely checking the want ads and real estate section. I'd love to retire there. 1 Fiddleman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterthebean 8,146 Posted June 23, 2013 Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I've been doing week 1 of C25K again, but I've been sprinting the run intervals. Holy jeezuz it's hard. Feels good though to expand my lungs again. 1 Fiddleman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted June 23, 2013 Hey BTB - that is a pretty clever ( correction: really clever) approach to reusing the structure of c25k as a running vet who can already run 5 k, 10 k and 1/2. 1 Butterthebean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted June 24, 2013 How was the c25k today Laura? Besides being almost impossible. Is it getting easier? Is breathing improving? Less sore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butterthebean 8,146 Posted June 24, 2013 There's no reason you should be sore Laura. The people who designed C25K knew what they were doing. Plus, even when it comes to weight lifting, studies have shown that DOMS has nothing to do with muscle adaptation or Protein synthesis. In other words, you never need to be sore to improve. Being sore just means you did too much, or used some muscles way more than they are used to being used. 1 maharet111 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
