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.
