in Motivation and Support
Post pics of outdoor fitness and adventures. Running trails, bike trails, kayaking, hikes whatever motivates you. Add the locations so other people can possibly join you. Training with others is always more fun! I have been mountain biking for a few years and convinced my wife to go this year. She LOVES it and it already planning lots of new adventures. We live in Western Washington and are always looking for others to join us on our outdoor adventures.

    Last one. This day was freaking epic. After a night of drinking, totally dead on the legs (first 5 min were awful), a buddy and I decided to turn our lazy stroll into a 50 mile ride down PCH.
    We decided we’d take the train back, in Oceanside. We had to pass through the military base near Oceanside...what’s the name..but he forgot his ID. So we hopped on the shoulder of the 5 freeway. It was rush hour and we are passing traffic with a nice tailwind, going 20mph like it was nothing.
    We get to the train station and have 90 min to kill. We get lunch. We get PLASTERED. Return and realize we can’t get our bikes on the train. *kitten*.
    More drinks. Call a friend who owed us a favor. Even more drinks.

    It was great.

    Hiking on the Isle of Skye in Scotland


    Awesome! Is that up around the Old Man of Storr?. Every time we go hiking in Skye all we see is rain!

    These are fantastic. I don't have mine on my computer to share, but it's the summit of Mt. St. Helens, our beloved Pacific NW volcano. Climbed it 2.5 years ago with my husband and kids. Climbing it again this summer with some of my sisters to celebrate my 50th bday. Would not have been able to do it without losing the weight and getting active.

    “Thanks, dad.”

    I have drop feet, which has taken away my ability to bike, but i am working hard to get my strength and muscles back so i can ride my bike again. Be thankful for your nerves and feet muscles, they are a Godsend!.

    I’m not familiar with drop feet but I’m really sorry to hear that. Can you stay active outside other days?


    Just as an aside, had the reflectors removed. That’s my second bike which I leave in Cali..

    I love everything about these pictures.
    Swimming in the Mediterranean. Would you share the story behind that?
