How To Run Properly | Running Technique Explained

  I just run.  But now I can soar!

Hi, A more current Blog (my wife's ; > })

http://crasmith.blogspot.com/

We're a growing family, trials, opportunities, challenges, awesome accomplishments, joyful moments, learning moments, gaming, scouting, busing, supervising kids and friends, potty
training, wall writing and scrubbing, gardening, hiking, following public and professional politics, fighting, running, camping, fishing, visiting, remembering, honoring, loving, teaching, serving. So busy, have many pictures, but little time to post. Hope to soon, for now, check out my wife's Blog: http://crasmith.blogspot.com/. Here is a picture of us after visiting a traveling Titanic
Museum. Pretty unique.

Bye for now, Brent

Had a great run today, went 3 miles over goal, but skipped one 3 mile run this week (Wednesdays are hard to find time to run, work all day, put on a Health class at night at my Chiropractic Clinic: 705 Ewald Ave SE from 6:30 to 7:30 PM, then I pick up the Kids from Charlene's Primary Presidency Meeting to get them to bed. By the time I can run, it's dark, it's late, I'm tired, it's usually raining and all the other excuses...). Maybe I'll be able to peel myself out of bed for a 3mile run Wednesday Morning.

I signed up for the Newport marathon, and started training on time. I've missed about 3 runs so far, and cut one run short ending it last Saturday at Midnight. I just run out of time in the day. See you soon. (Maybe another 3 months!! Thanks for the last post sweetie, guess I deserved it.)

I Wonder...

I wonder how long it will be until my husband figures out he left his Blogger signed on and I hijacked it?

Any bets/guesses????

Love ya, hon

Just got a new watch that records exercises that can be transfered to internet like Blogger, Twitter, etc. Thought I would share my first. OH, I think I need to get in shape. Technology usually motivates me.

Garden Tour

We put our garden in our church garden tour this last Friday. There were 8 homes on the garden tour list. Braden and I went out to visit while Charlene & Lexi gave the tours of our garden and served brownies, grapes, and othere snacks and drinks. I thought I'd share some photos and tips and tricks of gardening I learned from the various participants. This will take some time, so I think I'll publish a little at a time.










First stop, the Deckers. I let Braden take a lot of pictures here. Here is My favorite, looks like it's new, it's written in on the map, but I couldn't understand the abbreviation "Hydra", it's the purple/red one.






















Sorry, we missed a picture of the beautiful arch-way covered by georgeous plants, and the famous garden map with numbered plants to look up scientific and common names in the book!! This bench is surrounded by the Garden of Eden.




















We saw Tammy Christiansen, Kathy and Bob's Daughter who helped us look up a few plants.

If Braden looks a little blury, it's the celestial effect of the Garden of Eden.























What a peaceful tour, Thank you Bob and Kathy, let's take a look at a few close-ups, compliments of my personal Photographer, Braden.


Braden liked the leaves. I liked the Deep Blue Color. The purple one is a type of Hydrandia.

More pictures coming, Some vegetable gardens, more flowers, Beautiful! And I must break up my writing, due to the difficulty of Blogging, and the Blogger inserting several spaces every time I upload a picture. Why don't they just make it so you can upload several pictures at once? Or is there a way?

A bridge to Eternity...

Our long Journey began, as Charlene headed off to her Quilting Class. We headed to return Library books to keep down our ever mounting fines. Braden said, I want to go to the Carousel.

So,

We went to the Salem Riverfront Carousel for Lexi's first ride on a horsey! She was having fun when someone pressed "go" and the the horse started galloping up and down.

She gave that sort of "ouunh!" sound she makes when she's not so sure this is going to be so fun.

But, before long, she was relaxing and enjoying the ride, so I could loosen up and try to get a few shots of all three of us. (That's braden tipping his head back with the red stripe on his pants behind me.)

And some shots missed some of us...

And, after the ride came to a complete stop...

I could send Braden out front a ways to capture Lexi's Moment. I think she's giving you a little wave.

And some shots around the Carousel:

Um, Hello, Lexi, Over Here!!

There We Go!!



Whew!! Who knew Blogging took so much time, it's been over an hour, 3 failed attempts (Blogger crashed) At least I realized where the autosaved drafts are... Guess you'll have to wait until next episode to see our next stop on our Journey, our trip to the Bridge to Eternity!!
