I run the Potomac Valley Track Club Go Fourth 8K every year that we are in town for July 4th. This year, the race was held at a different site, promised to be “all flat.” (We know about those promises, don’t we!)
Even though we left the house at almost 7:00 for an 8:00 start time, I had plenty of time to relax before the race. I decided the steps of this old train car were perfect for striking a pose stretching.
Happy Fourth of July!
At this time of year, I like to renew my healthy Declaration of Independence and celebrate my freedom from unhealthy habits that used to weigh me down, physically and emotionally.
ViSalus asked me to contribute to their 90 for 90 recipe collection using their Vi-Shape® nutritional shake mix, which they call The Shake Mix That Tastes Like A Cake Mix.™ (FTC Notice: ViSalus provided product for me to use and compensated me for my recipes.) While I have a protein shake before my morning workout once in a while, I generally don’t like to drink my calories, so I used the product that they sent me in some baking recipes.
I had so much fun at Fitbloggin it’s hard to know where to start, but the workout that generated both the most sweat and the most smiles was the JumpSport® Fitness Trampoline Bounce Camp session.
Thanks to a combination of insomnia, jet lag, and excitement about Fitbloggin, I woke up bright and early on Saturday morning. What better way to start my weekend than go running in Portland?
I was staying at The Nines hotel, which was really close to some great running paths along the Williamette River.
