May 20- Guam Nursing Assoc 5-k

One of the 5-k races. Below is a family from church who run a lot.
Posing with a couple friends.  I placed 3rd in my division, my best time so far at 25:07

May 19- Tarzan Pools hike

Another fun hike to the pools. One of the youth loves this hike and she's leaving island in a bit so we all headed back to one of her favorite spots.

 Happy hikers
 Oh, no Jasper (the dog), Tyler's in trouble.....
 Jasper to the rescue!
Really he did jump in to help Tyler. But someone needs to teach him doggie stroke again. He swims with his front legs coming out of the water!


May 13- Hiking Lower Sigua Falls

A friend and I headed out to one of the tougher hikes I've done here. Max would have joined us but had to work that Sunday. Toby came along and enjoyed the first part. The last bit was pretty steep and we ended up leaving him a bit above the waterfall. He seemed content with the arrangement. 
 See our destination? There wasn't much water coming over the falls




Isn't he cute?!


May 6 - Ride for Life

The Cancer Society and Guam Cycling Federation pair up for the annual Bike for Life, which are century (100 mi) and half century rides. I enjoyed the half century (farthest I've ridden on a bike in a day). It took me 3 3/4 hours to complete. Gordon was good enough to wait up for me through it. The other girls are friends who were doing the fun ride.


May 5 AWR hike

This was one of the evenings of the "super moon." We were able to see both the moon rise and the end of the sunset from the same spot about the base of the towers. Pretty neat!

Climbing Tower 6

I finally got around to taking my camera climbing.  Today we were about halfway up tower 6 replacing a rusty cable and plate for one of the counterweight guides.
