Runners: Carolyn, Brian, and Jim

Weather: 50 and partly cloudy

Comments: We ran from Wildwood down into Portland and over to Marquam trail. We took the shortcut back for an 11 miler. I can really tell that I have been off for awhile.

Run is cancelled for tommorrow, May 16th.

Runners: Carolyn, Stephen, and Jim

Weather: Upper 40's and clear

Comments: Stephen T joined us today and we were able to slow him down bit from his regular pace ( and I think he sped us up a bit.) We ran the same course as two weeks ago but did not take the short cut back. It took a little over 2 hours. Next week, shorter faster.

The next run will be on the Wildwood Trail at 7:00 AM Saturday morning. Park on the road towards Pittock Mansion.

Runners: Carolyn and Jim

Weather: Low 50's and misty

Comments: We ran from the Hawthorne Bridge to Terwilliger going nearly to Barbur (about 5 miles) and back. On the way back we took a detour down to track and Dunaway. We clocked one lap to find our pace 1.5 hours into the run. I ran a bit fast at 8:10 and Carolyn ran a more reasonable (for 1/2 marathon) pace of 8:20. We should be able to manage 8:23 for Helvetia. On the way back through downtown we had an encounter with a homeless guy that was startling. Lots of yelling and screaming. Then there was Coopers. Was it my discomfort with his revealing spandex that made that man sit so close to me? Deep Thoughts.

Our next run will be Saturday morning at 7:00 AM. Park at Hawthorne bridge for a run up Terwilliger.
