Whoa!!! It rained in Portland!! It's been two months? Two and a half? Not sure, but a looooong time.

So the rain was refreshing. And I'm sure my plants are happy. Maybe the grass will think about turning green again.

Anyways, we headed out for the intended hike anyways, a loop around the Larch Mountain crater. Normally it probably has awesome views from a few places, including the hard-to-weather core of the volcano, Sherrard Point. But today, visibility was maybe 50ft, so no views.

Walk into work after midwife appointment. Baby is right way down! Woo!

Prenatal yoga class led by Claire. Really liked it! Good to move in all these ways. Waffle from Off the Waffle afterwards was yummy too.

Today just beat elliptical-nemesis to the super-elliptical. He came probably 30s later. So got to do the three final New Zealand hikes, next up, Utah Canyons!

10 min hiking on treadmill, 6% at 14 min/mi
7 min on stairmill, at 68 spm

Whoa! There were maybe 8 other people in the cardio room when I arrived this morning. Norm has been 1-3, so definitely a shift. Maybe the kids are coming back... they kind of trickle in, first the Hall advisors who have training, then international students, then all first-years then everybody.

Normal elliptical, elliptical nemesis totally beat me in today. Did the first 3 New Zealand hikes.

Stair mill at 68 spm.

Pre-pilates super-elliptical.

Really good Pilates session. I could do almost all the exercises, lots of leg work esp at the beginning and then some side-lying, which I can actually do. And bridging, which also works.
