Hi Julie, yes I plan to attend the writing sessions. I've got them written on the calendar. Thanks.

In regards to running downhill, I'm in training for the Hood to Coast Relay race coming up at the end of August. I am running 3 legs, each of which negative elevation gain. Running downhill has been my main training for a couple of months, trying to strengthen the ankles, knees and hips.

So great to hear from you Beth! YAY! Glad to connect again with you in the writing group. The Hood to Coast Relay sounds awesome. What's the distance you all are covering? Good luck and great job on the downhill training! So many benefits for us.

the total mileage is 199 miles, from Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood, to Seaside, Oregon. We start on Friday, August 26th, and end up in Seaside sometime on Saturday. My legs average 6 miles per leg. Thank you Julie, excited to see everyone at the next writing group.
