That quote above is from Coach Chris, and here is Coach Chris demonstrating! He lead some of his Yellow Team members in a jog/hike/exercise session through Eagle Creek Park this morning that was flat-out glorious!
This is what the park looked like this morning - cool, sure, but sunny and full of fall colors and smells and feelings.
Christian, Coach Chris' offspring, joined us, conspiring, perspiring and inspiring all along the way.
Here is the crew at the start, receiving some instructions and "what have I gotten myself into today" from The Coach.
After a little warm-up jaunt, we all paused for some light stretching. The "real" fun was just up the trail!
Making our way along the trail to the next station - we walked, we jogged, we hopped and skipped. We sweat, we swore, and we rejoiced.
Oh yes, Christian had FUN. He liked to be in the lead (imagine that!)
Our smiling, happy, warm, accomplished crew at the finish! Thanks to Coach Chris for organizing and leading our fun, and thanks to the YELLOW TEAM for coming out for a little adventure. (And thanks to Christian for constant, beautiful reminders of why one should strive to remain young at heart).
