Runners: Jim
Weather: 40 degrees and raining
Comments: Thank goodness for Yaks Traks (chains for my shoes) . I was on ice and snow 90 percent of the run. I ran up Marquam trail to Council Crest. Next I ran along Fairmont Loop until I had to take a detour due to a large tree that fell across the road. I worked my way back up to Council Crest road and then back down Mcdonnell (that was closed to cars due to steepness and large snow drifts) where I got back to Farimont Loop. Then I ran down to Marquam trail, took a left towards Marquam Shelter and made my way back. This took 1:24 and was about 6 miles. Slipping around requires extra energy for balance and result in a tough workout. I seem to get my "snow legs" after about 45 minutes.

Update - I went for a run from my house to Glendoveer, around the golf course and back. It was 26 degrees when I left and 24 degrees when I got back. Wind gust of 30 MPH made for an adventure. When the wind was to my back I had to take my gloves off due to over-heating.
The morning run has been cancelled due to poor driving conditions - the snowstorm came early. Everybody do your own run and post here under comments. Have fun in the snow!

Runners: Carolyn and Jim
Weather: Low 30's and clear
Comments: Started at Marquam shelter and ran to Council Crest. We decided to run over to Terwilliger and back for a total of 1 hour and 7 minutes. I thought of a good challenge run - Do this exact run except turn around when we hit Terwilliger and run back the same way we came. It would take about 1 hour 50.
