Going Nomad |
I was registered with The Best in the West Triathlon Festival for last weekend for the half iron but was recently diagnosed with bradycardia, a condition where your resting heart is so low (in my case below 40 beats per minute) that any exercise can lead to cardiac arrest, so that was that for the half iron. Asking my doctor how she felt about it if I paired all the way down to a sprint, she said "sure, if you have a death wish." Which I don't so that was that. But my friend and I had planned it, plus I badly needed a break from an intense home improvement project so we decided to go after all. Bend Oregon was our first stop. Awesome place, dog capital of Oregon. Here we tasted wine, hiked, and shopped all things dog. From there a visit to Sisters (big disappointment, don't let the Internet fool you. I'm sure it was a cute place at some point but now it's just kitsch) and from there to a stay at a small winery. We hiked just outside of Bend and in an original forest along the route to Cheshire Oregon. Next stop was Eugene where I did glass art for dummies. Paper weight. But it's a gorgeous paper weight and it's mine and I had fun making it. Now back home in Vancouver. Normalcy appears to be returning. Home improvement project is coming to an end, as is my heart condition. Time to make some plans....
