Eagle Creek Adventure Report

This post originally appeared back in 2008.  Enjoy...

Hey Guys,

FINALLY!!!! It was a lengthy, slow process, yet I was finally able to post some pictures from last Sunday's Eagle Creek Adventure.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then here are several thousand words which summarize the fun, fitness, and fellowship of our Adventure. If you were on the fence about joining us and didn't go for it, I'm truly sorry as you missed one of, if not the best Adventures to date. Don't let another one slip by without doing all you can to participate. Remember, these Adventure's are not races, they are appropriate for all fitness levels. All you need is an Adventurous spirit, a willingness to let go of your fears and "No Excuses!"

Hope to see you at our next Adventure, which if all works out will be early October. Stay tuned for announcements and dates and feel free to share your suggestions and ideas for upcoming Adventures; I plan to do them through the winter as well.

In Peace,
Chris

The group "before" getting sweating, dusty, and blissed out from the Adventure.

Unleash the hounds! The Adventure begins...

One of the bonus obstacles/challenges along the way. Here, Margaret makes it look easy.


John "Johan" Singleton showing excellent trail running form. You'd never know he's a cyclist : -), that's the beauty of cross-training and yoga. Going into the turn, notice his proper head tilt and leading from his pelvis/heart? Great stuff...

Alison cranks 'em out!

Yup, we even did some abs...

And more abs...

And did I mention pull ups..?

I really liked this "action" shot taken on a section of single track.

That's ultra-fit Kyle Rush doing his impersonation of "Tarzan"

It wouldn't be the same without some plyos in the mix

See, it can't be all that bad if they are smiling.

Oh and were there some hills! Some took the stairs, some charged up the trail instead. No escalators around these parts...

Project Test Pilot, "Big Daddy" Matt has become a born-again athlete (former cheerleader at U of K). That's fellow Test Pilot, Linda right on his heels.

Though all too short, this section was/is my favorite on the Adventure. Running through the reeds, nice soft single track, which winds along the resevoir shore line.

Post hike/run yoga session. Sooo nice for the hips.

Real Warriors of the body, mind, and spirit!

Jen feelin' it after the run. Though, I think Jen was acting here. Acting is her profession, so it's kinda hard to tell : -)

The dynamic duo. Pam, right, was the hero of the day in more ways than one. Great job Loretta!

A great view from the deck of the Peace Learning Center


Healthful post-Adventure treats!

One of our pit-stops along the route, a chance to take in the wonders and beauty that is offered at Eagle Creek Park

John doing what he says he does best... chillin'. John made the Eagle Creek Adventure a part of his own personal Adventure as he rode his bike to and from Eagle Creek, which made for an additional 2 hours of fun! Way to go John!

Y'all come back now, ya hear...
