FREE Yoga!
Well, almost free, anyway. Maybe it’s all the sitting we do as freelancers, or all the running, or all the traveling, but whatever it is, it’s making us very, very tight. It seems like our muscles (we’re talking head to … Continue reading
The Oregon Trail
It’s fun to take things off-road every now and then. Take today, for example. We opted to do our long run on Leif Erikson Drive in Forest Park rather than along the Willamette River, like usual. This is our favorite … Continue reading

One more reason to love January
