Red Nosed Rundeer 5K: 12.12.06
Yet another 5K! I broke my record for setting PRs, meaning, I didn't set one. Hmm...Maybe it was the santa hat? Anyway I did a 23:17, or a 7:30 pace. I was 9th of 390 women overall and 3rd of 60 in my age group.




Whistler, BC: 11.23-26.06
Last minute trip to Canada for some early season snowboarding. Wow, I am pretty rusty on the snowboard. It took me all three days just to feel comfortable again. But the snow was great! Tons of powder, enough to make all the landings soft. And check out the Hilton we stayed at, nice!

Run Like Hell 5K: 10.31.06
Got up way too early and joined a bunch of other crazies (they were in costume) for a 5K downtown. Was WAY tired for this but still managed to post another personal best - 22:40, or a 7:18 pace! This time I was 3rd in my age group and 8th overall out of 347 women.

Run for the Cheetah 5K: 10.15.06
Steve and I got up early and went to the zoo. To run a 5K that benefited the Cheetah Conservation Fund. It was cool. Even on a super hilly course, I posted a personal best 5K time - 23:42, or a 7:38 pace! Oh and I was 1st in my age group and 9th overall out of 183 women.

Hike Horsetail Falls: 10.08.06
Did a very nice hike to see Horsetail Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. Zoe was very stylish in her new boots.

Kayak around Ross Island: 08.19.06
Did a short (2hr) kayak trip around Ross Island just south of downtown Portland. Saw an osprey nest and about a million power boats. There must have been something wrong with my kayak because it kept wanting to go left!

Torture 10,000 Century and Bridge Pedal: 08.12-13.06
Yes! I got my revenge on the Torture 10,000 this year (I bonked last year). Now I never have to do it again. ; ) By the way it's actually 108 miles and 12,000' of climbing. Woke up even earlier the next day to join about 20,000 other riders in the Bridge Pedal ride. This is one of those "gotta do it once" things.
