Our next run will be tomorrow morning at 7:30. We are going to park at Washington Parl. The description is below. It turns out you cannot turn left of Vista so you have to turn somewhere else to get to the entrance to Washington Park.
Take a left on vista off Burnside (the light before Peet's.) Take a right on Park Place into Washington Park. You have to take a right into the park. Park in the closest available place and we will start from there.

Runners: Carolyn and Jim
Weather: Low 40's and Cloudy
Comments: We parked at the entrance to Washington Park. We started by going up the road towards the Zoo. We took the Wildwood trail for awhile and then followed some trails down towards the Zoo. Then we went up Marquam, took a left of Broadway (or what Broadway turns into) and then took a left on Vista. We followed Vista to Burnside and took a left. We went up Burnside to the first road and took a right. Heading up the hill we asked someone how to get to Pittock and he directed us straight up the hill. We knew it was steep when we caught up with a guy walking his bike. After reaching Pittock Mansion we went down Wildwood, took a right on Cumberland trail and down Cumberland Rd. Downhill never felt so tiring. UP 45 minutes, down 15 minutes, up 30 minutes, down for another 23 minutes. This 9 mile run felt like 12.

Runners: Carolyn, Stacey, Russ and Jim
Weather: 50 and Sunny
Comments: We ran from Hawthorne to Council Crest, down Broadway to the Marquam trail and back for 8.5 miles. There is a new sign at the Marquam Shelter that shows 1.9 miles to Council Crest with an elevation gain of 780 feet. We run up from the rive to get to the shelter. It has taken a few year but I think we have made climbing hills seem normal (for us.)

Runners: Carolyn, Stacey, Russ and Jim
Weather: Upper 30's and sunny
Comments: We took Russ and Stacey on the new Cumberland trail loop. Somehow it seems like we run uphill about an hour and downhill for 10 minutes. Next week we may park at the bottom of Washington Park and run toward the zoo first to expand this course a bit.

Runners: Carolyn and Jim
Weather: Upper 30's Rain / Snow
Comments: We ran on Wildwood and then down through Washington Park. We found a service road that dropped out at 25th and Burnside (ride next to Peet's.) Then we crossed Burnside and headed towards Forest Park. We ran up Cumberland road until it dead ended into Forest Park. The Cumberland trail took us to the Wildwwood trail and ended up at Pittock Mansion. This a very hilly 6 mile run with many options to make it longer. Yeah for new routes! Russ - If you are back Wednesday let's run Mt Tabor.
