August in Pics


It is amazing how much cool stuff you can do when you aren't running LOL.

August has been wonderful and I have packed 3 months of summer into the past 4 weeks quite easily:) Finally the sunshine and heat have arrived and post Death Race I have had plenty of time on my hands to enjoy it. Still not running (well, OK I started my ROCK program yesterday Run 1: Walk 4 yipppee!) close to 5 weeks since the CDR but I can do lot's of other fun stuff like bike, kayak, garden and lounge:) Here is my month in pics, along with 2 short videos at the end, including the start line at the CDR:) Goodbye August, you were awesome in many ways...
