Lake Hike and Going Away Party

We had a fabulous hike to Talapus and Olallie Lakes. And we were rain free while Seattle got some drizzle, nice change up for us. Our early start assured us a peaceful hike and we only saw people on the last part of the trail on the way down.

Afterwards it was celebration time to honor a training buddy moving away from Seattle. We will miss Barb S dearly, out of sight, but certainly not out of mind. I see races to meet up at in our future! Thanks to Linda and Barb S for hosting and organizing the party.

Happy Hikers

Birthday Celebration with a Donut Challenge

What a lovely month May is, if for no other reason than there are so many birthdays to celebrate. So there's nothing better than playing in the park and eating Sabina's famous cupcakes. Oh for the donuts... they just came along on the workout with us.
