Got up in the dark this morning to go for a social jog with Nalani. We haven't run together as much lately which, as a result, means that all of our swims start with 30' of sitting on the pool deck and catching up on everything. So for today I scheduled us a 10 mile social run through the Botanical Gardens near where we live.
It was pretty much the most perfect morning we've had in I-can't-remember-how-long... It started in the dark under a little sliver of a moon and then as we got closer to the gardens the sky started to get orangish and the birds started chirping and there I was just jogging along and talking girl talk with one of my best friends and then we turned around and saw these giant sheer mountains that were lit up orange by the dawn light and.... ahhh..... Stunning. Just stunning.
Nalani commented that we should come back at lunch and do our TRX workout there. Sounded like a good idea to me! So after spending a few hours working mid-morning, I packed up my car with my bosu ball, jump rope, resistance bands, TRX, and yoga mat (all my fun toys!) and drove by her work to pick her up... we found this spot that seemed like it would work.
It does seem like a bit of a crime that we have not done this before... I can promise you we'll do it again. Maybe we'll make it a Thursday Thing?

Awesome! I am becoming a great believer in strength work and absolutely love it! You bet I'll do it outside in the summer:)
I think it's pretty much a crime that I just read this and saw those pictures after running 13+ miles in the howling wind, freezing temps and crazy snow storm that's going on right now. I truly live in the wrong place. ;) So beautiful - I hope you go every Thursday!! :)
What a good friend and coach you are. Looks like a lovely day.
that looks so beautiful!!!!
Love it. The Thursday thing thing!!
ok, we just got 1+ ft of snow in the last 24hrs, so those pics are torture... :(
So beautiful!
Super awesome Thursday! You two are cOnnected st the hip!
I know that jealousy is a very bad thing but I can't help it!!!
I need to get my ass to hawaii pronto!
um the spot where you do TRX is a little bit more beautiful than mine (in a lousy YMCA gym). so jealous!
That's just mean. It was 11 degrees here this morning (a warmup from yesterday's -2F). What a lovely workout.
TRX the kitten didn't make the blog? That thing was adorable.
Make it a Thursday thing...for all of us who can't. Freakin' awesome!
