Taking a Back Road- Oregon Running

This last weekend, I traveled to Oregon with my boyfriend, where I stood in my best friend of 12 years, Kayle's wedding! (Congratulations Kayle and Kelly, you make a beautiful couple!)

The morning before the wedding I squeezed in a quick 3 1/5 mile run, averaging 8:52 min/mile. Initially, I planned on making it quick, so I could get back with plenty of time to get ready for the big day. I even contemplated running on the treadmill, since it was a cold morning, 46 degrees! But I could not resist exploring in the beautiful sites, and capturing pictures the whole way to share with my readers!

Despite the cold air, the sun quickly warmed me up!

The only way I could get a picture of myself...I look weird...

So...I've only been running in my Vibram Five Fingers lately, and have started to develop this awful pain in my ankles! I'm going to do some research for on-going Vibram usage, and how much is too much...stay tuned...

Where are some amazing places you've experienced and seen through being active?

Cheers to Being Fit N Gorgeous
