6.2 mile run in 55:19.  Weight 185.9 lbs.

So, I contemplated what I should do with this blog now that the Pacific Coast trip is over.  And I concluded that what I really wanted to write about was my training.  Fitness and training are becoming more and more important in my life, and I think that reading about others' work is inspiring, so why not write about mine?  It does double duty as a way to inspire me to get out there; the blog will be really sad if I don't!  I realize that reading about me traipsing around Portland may not be fascinating, but hey, I'll mix in some interesting tidbits about gear, philosophy, etc., and maybe even some photos when I do travel. 

For now this is just a placeholder.  Day 1!
