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!

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.

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.

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.

And it's still almost impossible!!!

I'm going on vacation this week so I'm going to have to wing it after today.,

[Fiddleman 4,376]

How was the c25k today Laura? Besides being almost impossible. Is it getting easier? Is breathing improving? Less sore?

The thing to take away from that video is that most of those people were doing something stupid right before the fit hit the shan. Darwin lives!!!

Ok you know what? I feel like I'm going to die every time but breathing and concentration is improving.. But you know what Andy I've never been sore from it... Should I??

[Butterthebean 8,146]

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.

Have a great trip! We just got back from Tahoe. No running, but did several strenuous hikes.

Really?!?!

I am going to Glenwood Springs with the boy friend. My Birthday is Saturday and we wanted to do something adventurous now that I am not a big giant slug!!

I do plan to take it easy that week. I can feel a burnout phase coming on so going to just relax and not be so neurotic!
