Yesterday when I was at Oakway Fitness Center, I heard that they’ll be open for New Year’s Day at 9 am. So, why not start off the year right and get there when they open?

I got there just before 9 am, changed, and went for a run from Oakway to the nearby Pre trail. It was only a total of 3 miles for an out and back course. The turnaround point was at the back of Autzen Stadium (:53 second spot on the video below), right off the trail. After returning, I got in a little stretching, 10 minutes on a stationary bike, and a few other machines for upper body fitness. I finished this off with a soak in the whirlpool. What a great start to the day, as well as to 2009.

Happy New Years to everyone! What are your fitness goals for this year?
