So I've did the 5k and quite enjoyed being in a crowd. So I am aiming high! In January there is a 10 mile trail run in the park across of the road from us. I need instant gratification for things I do -- give me praise when I do well, and that includes running....please!… Continue reading Ravenna Refresher 11/21/15
Beckler Peak 11/28/15
I am so pleased that this hike worked out well, and that we managed to reach the peak. The views were spectacular, and the trail was almost empty the whole time. This weekend it was myself, Hubster and H. Thankfully....there was no chance for our car to reach Jennifer Dunn Trailhead, we needed H's 4wd… Continue reading Beckler Peak 11/28/15
Thanksgiving 11/26/16
Thanksgiving. An interesting holiday. I think next year I will have more to say, this year however there is not much. I don't know what it is about, I've been too busy to research it, all I knew was that I don't like turkey and I did not want to cook! So myself, Hubster, Igloo… Continue reading Thanksgiving 11/26/16
Talapus Trail to Lake Talapus 11-15-15
Originally Hubster had suggested Teneriffe Falls, but once we met with our hiking buddy - let's call him....H - we changed our minds. We started later than expected due to some road closures, and H had the suggestion of another one. We swapped into H's car as it's a landcruiser which means we can access more… Continue reading Talapus Trail to Lake Talapus 11-15-15
Dirty Harry’s Balcony 11-8-15
We chose to go to Dirty Harry's Balcony again, with the hope we could actually find the balcony WE DID! We had a friend with us too, which was great. He bought chocolate...I bought an apple! Someone had obviously gone along and marked the route a little bit where the turn off is for the… Continue reading Dirty Harry’s Balcony 11-8-15
On the road to running….
We I joined a running club - Eastside Runners - to get fit and to make friends. One of things I'm struggling with most is having the confidence to get out there and make friends. Hubster came with me on the first meet, back on October 8th, and since then I've been to a Monday… Continue reading On the road to running….
Dirty Harry’s Balcony 10-11-15
Choosing where to go on any given day whether it is a hike, shopping, or a mooch around is a hard thing to do between us! Someone needs to take the lead and neither of do. Today though, we agreed on Dirty Harry's Balcony. Washington Trails Association is a really useful website for planning trips… Continue reading Dirty Harry’s Balcony 10-11-15
Briefly Kirkland
We live in Kirkland, WA. It is a very picturesque and quiant place from what I've seen so far. Many parks and trails, it is on Lake Washington and seems quite peaceful. That being said, I have not spent a lot of time there. I mainly go into Redmond, the running club I joined meets… Continue reading Briefly Kirkland
Board-games….who me?!
I enjoy playing board games, especially at Christmas and on holidays, but I would never have said I would be the type of person to play board games in a cafe/restaurant (I'm not sure what this place counts as). It is called MOX - right next door to a piano shop too! They sell Cherry… Continue reading Board-games….who me?!
All Things A Blur
I have been here nearly 3 weeks and time has flown by and therefore everything has merged in to blur as to when I visited places. I have been to the local shopping mall - Bellevue Crossroads - and bought yarn!!! First of many trips, and the first of many blankets started. Lots of driving… Continue reading All Things A Blur
