Running for Boston

Today I ran for Boston, for those who were hurt or killed on Monday.  It was a small local race, but it made me feel like a member of the bigger running community.  The race was held in the country and it was a beautiful morning for a run.  Gave me time to think and reflect.  It was a fund raiser for the Local Boy Scout Troop, who did a great job with course support.  The best part of the day was that I won my age group, which has been a goal of mine for a long time.

I encourage everyone to run for Boston. 

But also run for yourself and for your community.

Roadside Flower Stands

Spring has come to the Willamette Valley!!! Which means rain, followed by sunshine, followed by more rain.  All that rain and sun help the grass grow and the flowers bloom.  Today on a drive I found 2 roadside flower stands.  These stands work on the honor system and always make me smile. :)

This cute stand was filled with Daffodils

Tillamook Ice Cream Buckets. Great Ice Cream and cheese too!

Hope that your spring is sunny and fun filled!
