I'm back after a very extended weekend at the cabin. We arrived late Wednesday night, and then my sister and her husband and kids met us up there on Thursday afternoon. Four full nights of cabin life makes it difficult to come back to reality...especially when you have a relaxation station like this one at the cabin! There was plenty of relaxing, but honestly, we kept things pretty "fit" up Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Exploring Portland.
Just one last post about our trip to Oregon- yes, it did take me a month to get around to the final installment of Fits on the Road in Oregon, but here it is. Oregon by Foot Part 1 was all about hiking. Part 2 was the Bend Ale Trail. Part 3 is a bit random with some final things to do in Portland! Multnomah Falls: After spending the night in Bend, we headed back to Portland. We Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Exploring Oregon by Foot- Part 2
Part 1 of "Fits on the Road- Exploring Oregon by Foot" was all about the hiking. Part 2 of this exploration was still an exploration by foot, (most of the time it was a tour by footsies covered in Tom's) But part two of this tour has a bit of a beer theme. After two nights in Crater Lake, we headed east to the town of Bend. I didn't know much about Bend beforehand, except that it was a bit Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Exploring Oregon by Foot- Part 1
Home sweet home! I love to travel, but it's always nice to settle back into home, especially when you have this sweet face to greet you. We sure missed this girl. So now I'm settled in, catching up on the TiVo, and ready to share all the Fits on the Road we found in Oregon. Dustin said we covered planes, trains, and automobiles on this trip, but actually, I think we did the majority of our Continue Reading
Fresh New Fit: Snowmobiling in Yellowstone National Park
Hello readers, we're back! Laurie and I both returned to our respective cities today (Kansas City and Minneapolis) after a wonderful ski trip in Big Sky, Montana. We had three days of skiing (snowboarding for Dusters and me, skiing for LL and her husband) on the mountain, split up by a day touring Yellowstone National Park via snowmobile. Back to the snowmobile tour. In the winter, regular cars Continue Reading
Failed Fit: The Day Before the Marathon
Personally, I love training for a marathon. I love our Friday night routine of a catching up on the TiVo with some Punch Pizza. I love the Saturday long run. I love the occasional post long-run brunch. I love the weekly workouts. I love picking out our next marathon location; I love finding a new state where we will explore 26.2 miles of the best it has to offer. And the actual marathon? I love Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Wisconsin Dells
Celebration! My parents' 40th wedding anniversary is in a few days, and all 5 of the daughters wanted to plan something special to help them celebrate. A few years ago, we had met up at the Wilderness Resort in Wisconsin Dells for my dad's 60th birthday. We all had a great time then, so we decided to meet there again to be together to celebrate such a monumental anniversary! If you're Continue Reading
