This is a fun street to walk down. The statues are located between SE 36th and SE 11th Streets along SE Division. The sidewalk is lined with bioswales at many of the curbs providing a way to capture stormwater. It also provides a bit of nature in an urban setting. Lined with interesting shops and restaurants it is definitely a street to visit if you come to Portland OR.

This is more about marathon running and spiritual enlightenment. I have always been fascinated by the Marathon Monks.
Here is a book by John Stevens called "The Marathon Monks of Mt Hiei" The Spiritual Athlete's Path to Enlightenment by Holly A. Schmid 12/11/96. U-Tube Channel 4 Marathon Monks of Mt Hiei Adventure Associates is an outdoor adventure travelling company. I have been on 3 of their trips and I was quite satisfied with my adventure trips. Hawaii, Copper Canyon and two ski trips. They support the communities that they travel through.
This is my New Year's goal.
I am signing up to do 6 walking challenges. The challenges do overlap but it is all about getting outside and walking or hiking. Through the AVA I am going to walk 100 volkswalks in 2016 (hopefully more than that!) Through OTSVA (Oregon State Volkswalking organization) the Winter Challenge. To walk as many Volkswalks as I can in a 3 month time period. Chance to win an REI gift card! Through the Columbia River Volkspsort Club I am doing the 20in2016 Walk Challenge. that is walking all of the CRVC's YRE events in 2016. 52 Hikes do 52 hikes in a year. 1000 Mile Challenge (I signed up for 2000 miles) And once the Idita-Walk gets going I plan to sign up for that too. It is ambitious and I will keep you posted on my progress. The fun begins on January first! The book is coming soon. This is about overcoming fears and realizing your potential. About living your life to your full potential.
Heather Howells Braids and Laces I hope you find this link to be helpful. This was one of the documentaries shared at the Rainshadow Running Film Festival.
Joe Mc Conaughty ran the PCT in 53 days with the support of his friends. This is the website that is streaming the documentary The Run for Colin. It is worth watching and making a donation. The money raised provides resources for families who are struggling with financial and emotional hardships from a cancer diagnosis. Video Run for Colin on UTube I really like this organization. They do trail running. They host a trail running film festivals every year. This is a fun event and the films are wonderful.

ScoutI am an avid walker and hiker. My favorite is a long hike. I also enjoy taking off and going on a meandering walk for a few hours. I've hiked rim to rim in the Grand Canyon and I did 3 Burning Boot Walks on Vancouver Island. Archives
