We visited Fit Right NW today in an effort to find some new running shoes for Jen (success!). The process included a video-taped session of barefoot running on one of their treadmills. The process continued with an explanation of the shoes and features which should be considered for one's running style. Overall, an impressive process that (for the moment) has landed Jen a new pair of Asics (not to worry, there's a 30-day trial period). I also tried on the highly-worshiped C.E.P. Sportsocks purported to speed recovery and decrease injury. Sadly, at $60 a pair they're beyond what I'm willing to pay. Fortunately, by trying them on, I discovered they're nothing more than a glorified soccer sock (think of the extremely tight ones that you struggle for days to put on).
Went down to Bethany Lake Park and I sketched the lake while Jen read and we ate Tillamook cheddar with strawberries and blackberries. Delicious. On the way out we decided to look for the otter we've seen on separate occasions and happily discovered him (or her) scouring the depths near its home. This sprouted the thought of whether this animal could possibly be a nutria rather than an otter. However, it appears the characteristics fit the description of an otter over a nutria. While watching the otter, a "bird" seemed to be flying oddly overhead and dipping and diving as if it were attacking other flying organisms. When this UFO came closer it became obvious we were watching a bat at work. Upon further sky-gazing we found another bat swooping the skies. Interesting!
