Runners: Carolyn, Jessica and Jim

Weather: Mid 30's and heavy rain

Comments: Jessica is now part of the elite group of runners who go out in any conditions. We ran along the Wildwood and took a detour through Hoyt Arboretum. We connected back with the Wildwood above the Oregon Zoo and ran back towards Burnside. We took another detour down through the Rose Garden (the one with roses - not basketball players.) Finally connected back up with Wildwood and back for about 5 miles. Good job Jess!

Runner: Carolyn and Jim

Weather: Low 30's and cloudy

Comments: We parked at Terwilliger and Barbur. We ran along Terwilliger to a trail head and went up to Faimont loop. We took Fairmont loop south to the tower and took Mitchell down toward Termilliger. We came out at the top of Terwilliger and ran back to Barbur. It was a nice 7 mile run and one that we can put into other loops.
