Spring is in the Air, but the Cherry Trees are a Week Late

I must admit it is a wee bit nicer to workout in the warm sunshine....

Last Tuesday we visited the Capitol Hill cemetery after the Howe Street stairs on a very sunny warm day. Then on Thursday we saw a bald eagle at Magnuson Park, oh the joys of running and walking in Seattle.

And today we visited the cheery cherry trees, a week late in their peak time (because of the cold and snow this past winter),  but beautiful none-the-less and fewer people than "normal" taking photos.

Happy Spring to all of us!

Running and Biking and Walking OH MY

Even though I have been remiss in posting, we have been busy.

The Sunday run/walk group started in January and even though we have had some cold/snowy weather, it has been fun!

Many of us put outside biking on hold during the snow and icy times, but we are back at it again! It didn't stop us from running and walking everywhere though.

Soon the hiking group will resume....

Some photos of our workouts:

Winter Bike and Hike

Even though it has been cool and a little wet, we are still out there enjoying the great northwet.

Poo Poo Point and Tiger Mtn gave a some good ups, downs and sprinkles, but it was still awesome.

Weekend Races

It's been perfect weather for running, walking and biking workouts.

Yesterday's Ghost 1/2 and today's Seattle Marathon 1/2 had perfect running and walking temps and no precipitation.

Congratulations to Amy, Betty and Susanna on the Ghost and to Carolyn, Jen, Judy, Max, Pam and Penni on the Seattle.

And a big thank you to our other team members for helping on the Seattle race. Alyson was in the medical tent at the finish and Susanna a ham radio operator
