Dune-it

I have been trying to stay on my running regiment...ugh...SO hard when you are THIS age...but I keep plodding along. I have a goal...to RUN 3 miles in the SAND DUNES. It's a BIG goal...hard as hell...but a goal I would LOVE to ACHIEVE at this age. I'm doing the 'Couch to 5K'...and feel if I can do this in the DUNES, I can DO IT ANYWHERE. So now I'

You go, girl!! Couch to 5k, I love it. I also love the picture of the two dogs running in the surf.

My husband keeps trying to drag me down to Cabela's to buy some small, purple or pink handgun he saw for me so I can carry it on my walks in the woods. I only have one dog and I'm sure Wicket wouldn't do much to protect me, either. Remember, (it's always safer to have the permit) it *is* legal in Oregon to carry open, you just need the permit to carry concealed. Of course, carrying open can cause all kinds of problems when someone freaks out and calls 911 to report an armed person running on the dunes...

Oooooo!!! Tell your hubby he wouldn't have to drag ME down to Cabela's!! :)
I'm gonna stop at Cabela's next time thru Eugene! I'd love to have a stylish gun! I have no idea how to fire one, so plan on taking a class before I buy one actually...but it doesn't hurt to look!
...and isn't that an awesome picture? love my iphone, I can do Coach to 5K, track my mileage with Runmeter, listen to my music AND take pictures all on one devise (thank you Steve Jobs!). That pic was taken about 3 pm...dogs have to be IN the outgoing water for you to be able to see them at all when shooting into the sun.

You're running in the dunes! Omg. You're amazing. I can go about 100ft before I'm worn out.

Can't wait to see you next weekend!

Well...running INTERVALS in the dunes at the moment....'Couch to 5K' tells you when to run, when to walk, (THANK GOD) or I would be dying too. But by the time I'm about 4 weeks into it, I should be RUNNING most of it...I may be dragging a leg...but I WILL be running! Slowly...I AM over twice YOUR geg, ya know.

My hubby has his concealed and would like me to get one as well. He also thinks we should go shooting soon since I haven't shot a hand gun before. Mine is more for protection at home since he works nights at the moment and I am related to a crazy person, I think it would give him more peace of mind if I knew how to work it. A bonus though is that my inlaws are literally 2 houses up if there were to be trouble since the nearest police are 15 minutes away.

Good for you on the running and in the dunes!! Running really hurts my body, but I have found low impact stuff I can do at home :)

You callin your momma crazy? Just kidding...I know it's NOT her :)
I'm gonna get me that gun...someday, and learn how to shoot it too! Hot rod granny I be!

And yes, I DID do my dune run today...and it was the easiest it's ever been...which is encouraging. I'm not fast, but i DID IT!

Are you getting a gun to match your iPhone cover? That would be pretty cool.

Will be at WAG! Look forward to seeing you there, haven't seen you in a long time.

[3bluentru]

Oh! do glad you are coming down to WAG! I get t see 'the gang'! Woohoo! And I like the idea of matching my gun with my iphone...maybe my ipad too :) But...can't you just see my pull my IPHONE on someone instead of my gun? Totally something I could do. Safe travels!

We are here in Portland. We went to Cannon Beach one day. Then hiked Eagle Creek trail, the next day, which was awesome! I have 3 days of DP agility camp. Then Friday is our last day here. Trying to figure out what to do. Thinking of going to The Dunes!

[3bluentru]

Where do you guys live? Welcome to beautiful green Oregon! Have fun at Daisys camp...ill be there on Monday for the UKI trial. Hope the weather holds out! You should go on a hike up the gorge, it's so beautiful! Dogs on leash only tho.

Some day we will have a big LJ get together!
