Fall Festival Fun Run

Malissa is a runabee (runner wannabe) and we decided to challenge ourselves with a "fun" run. Of course we wanted the t-shirt as well. Any runner wants the t-shirt. Mike and I headed to Corvallis to meet up with Malissa. Malissa and I would run the 5K and Mike would cheer and drink his coffee. Mike caught us coming and going. Notice that we have running chips (the stuff that REAL runner use to time themselves). We pretty much rocked the course. We're thinking about doing a 5K on Thanksgiving Day, The Turkey Trot, so we can eat to our heart's content the whole day and not feel guilt.



They announced our names and numbers as we crossed the line. That was neat!
"Malissa Larson from Corvallis and Susie Friberg from Albany"

Iron Mountain

We also hit Iron Mountain on the same trip as Smith Rock. It was rated difficult in our little handy dandy hike guide, but really it was simple. A steady uphill march, but nothing compared to Rooster Rock.

Smith Rock

Mike got a taste of Smith Rock when he tagged along with Josh, Jess and hoods on their summer time fun and fishing. The pictures looked so amazing, that I suggested we go there for some rest and relaxation. We took Misery trail around the mountain to see "Monkey Face." The primate was amazing. There were folks climbing it early in the morning. Amazing stuff. The structure itself is God's handy work. Incredible!
