Bummer!

Molly and I have been working out with a personal trainer now since April of 2008. We have been getting some decent results... no real weight loss, but none really gained, and lots of muscle gained. One of our resolutions was to work even harder, to try to lose some weight, and to get in some good shape for the upcoming hikes that will, doubtlessly, be harder than last year's hikes.

We found out last night that our gym is closing at the end of January, and our trainer will only be training downtown Portland. It is really a bummer. I don't know that we'll be able to continue training with him. We'll have to see. What's possibly worse is that I don't know which gym we'll join now. There are a few close ones, but I believe that they make you pay for a year in advance. Bummer!

Anyway, just wanted to put that up while I'm thinking about it.

Have some good hikes coming up. At the end of March is a 4 day hike in Peru. Then some, potentially, diffuclt ones this summer. At the end of July we have Mt. Temple which a long, full-day scramble. Then in September, for my birthday, we'll be hiking the South Sister (of the 3 sisters near bend), which is a good ten hour hike.

Where are you guys headed in Peru? Are you doing the Inka trail to Macchu Picchu? That sucks about the snow & the personal trainer... could you maybe take up cross country skiing and make the most of both situations?? Good luck on your weight goals - I'll be about 7 months behind you (after the baby is born at the end of June!!) Jenny
