cardio | bike commute | hot yoga

Today I did make it to the gym for some delicious cardio. And I increased the incline AND the resistance just a bit over the last time I was here.

And for dessert I took the long way home for a change. It sure has been a while since I did that. I avoided the big hill coming out of the Ballard locks so as not to aggravate my left knee.

Since I Had to leave work early for a dentist appointment, I had time to squeeze in more hot yoga at Breathe Hot Yoga. I think I am starting to like this.

bike commute | hot yoga

We're back home and I'm back to Breathe Hot Yoga for more stretching and strengthening. This has got to help me, right...?

Today I rode from work straight to the yoga studio and let me tell you, it's pretty tough to put your cycling clothes back on when you are this sweaty. And stowing a yoga mat in my messenger back took some thought.

I did not have any desire to hit the gym this morning. All this rest is making me tired.

walk | cruiser ride

We are on vacation!

I did the little loop again this morning and even jogged some along the train tracks. Technically this is still verboten by my doctor but I couldn't help myself. Thank goodness it did not hurt my knee.

Later in the day we all (Daren Doss, Lisa Chadbourne, their daughter, Shelley and I) hopped on some full on jalopy bikes and rode into 'downtown' Astoria.

First of all, riding these bikes was a blast. Crabon is overrated. Secondly Astoria has lots of fantastic beer. I drank too much. Then we rode back home. Naturally. Third, I was not so drunk that I didn't try to record all of these activities with my GPS. It's a sickness. Fourth, something crapped out on the ride back home obviously. Thanks for nothing Garmin. [That's the alcohol talking there Garmin...]

walk | stand up paddle board

What a treat.

This weekend our architects chadbourne + doss invited Shelley and I down to Alderbrook Station for a weekend getaway.

Awesome!

This place is a house on the Columbia down in Astoria. Astoria is pretty cool all by itself but this house is amazing. So comfy and open yet cozy and quiet. Right behind the house is an enormous net shed that was used to repair fishing nets back in the day. Now it's a giant party space and artist lofts. There is also a wood-fired hot tub in back.

Did I mention that one of our architects is a huge surfer? It was so nice we went for a little paddle in the afternoon. The water was glass.

In the morning I walked this fun loop around the bay that the house sits on. Super scenic.
