Strawberry hills...

It's common knowledge that hills are good for you.  It's good to incorporate the extra work at least once a week.  Yesterday, I tried to keep up with a human goat named Leah.  We ran up to Fragrance Lake.  Curses, it's a killer to hike and running is a little...painful.
I managed to keep up with Leah on the way up...at least I kept her in eyesight.  My extra-small feet did manage the downhills, my favorite part of the run, a little faster than Leah.  I think it's a leg turnover deal.  My feet are very short...see?

I refer to my feet as Barney Rubble feet as all my toes are similar lengths.  It's a cross I have to bare...yet, I don't fall over.  (Brian always says I should fall over because my feet are so short). 
So, it's much easier for me to pick them up quickly.  I'm hoping there will be more downhill races staged in Bellingham.  I'm sure to be the winner.

For the rest of the day we went to Sakuma Market Stand and picked berries.

 Of course, we had to sample the delicious ice cream...I had a strawberry milkshake and Leah sampled the raspberry one.   What's with the word RASPberry.  It's a mystery...
Today, I was a bit sore...took the day off in preparation for Saturday's Chuckanut Footrace...a 7 miler on the interurban...such a great course.  And...it's my birthday weekend.  I plan on turning 31 for the 10th time.  :)
Total miles this week 5.5
