Living in Portland means you’ve got tons of different ways to get outside and exercise which is part of the reason I moved here in the first place. I thought it was a lot of fun being so active and I even got into it buy buying a bike and getting a great big dog to run with me – that was the life! I guess I should have taken it slower because I ended up tearing my ACL last year and I’ve been really slow to get back on my feet ever since. I actually got direct tv portland for my house and that’s been good to keep me occupied but boy if I can’t wait to get back out there and start riding again. I think there’s something special about the air here – it makes you want to really be outside enjoying nature – and that’s what I love about this place. Oregon may have broken me physically but I can’t wait to become a bigger part of the outdoor scene here once I’m actually healed.
