Runners: Carolyn, Jessica, Russ, Danny, Elijah and Jim.

Weather: 60's and Sunny

Comments: We ran the Wildwood with the shortcut on the way back for an 8 mile run. Jessica took a tumble and came up with a bloody knee so her and Carolyn ran 5 and then hiked up to Pittock. The youngster fired up the old guys and we ran the route in 1:30 instead of the usual 1:36. Good job young guys and old guys.

The next run will be from Burnside tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM.

Runners: Russ (on time) and Jim (late.)

Weather: 50's and Cloudy

Comments: Russ and I had a breakdown in communication. He thought when I said I would meet at 6:30 that meant I would be there at 6:30. What it really meant was I would wake up at 6:30. Sorry Russ! I knew I would find you on the trail. We both ended up with 5 mile runs.

The next run will be from the Marquam Shelter at 6:30 AM tomorrow morning.

Comments: Parked at Burnside and went up to Pittock. We ran over to Jay's trail and Russ had to get back. How was that sprint up the hill? I went across Cornell and ran on some new trails and then back for a total of 6 miles.

Runners: Russ and Jim (and Carolyn and Stacey in Sherwood.)

Comments: We ran up Broadway today and set a record of 25:45. I think the previous best was 26:30 but usually we are in the 27's or 28's. We were going to the top and around but decided to reward the tough climb with a shortcut down the hill for a total of 5 miles. To close the deal I am supposed to run tomorrow...

The next run will be from the Hawthorne Bridge at 7:00 AM.

Runners: Russ and Jim

Weather: 60's and Sunny

Comments: Parked at Marquam Shelter. We ran some of last weeks run backwards. That could be dangerous on trails. We are doing our part to clear some old trails.

The next run will be from the Marquam Shelter tomorrow at 6:30 AM.

Runners: Carolyn, Russ and Jim

Weather: Mid 50's and Sunny

Comments: We ran up to Pittock, down to MaCleay Park and back over to Burnside. We went up through Washington Park and then back on the Wildwood trail for a totol of about 8 miles. Heads up Russ - mandatory drug testing next week. Now you know what Lance must feel like - all those accusations just because he is fast.

The next run will be from Burnside at 7:30 AM Saturday.
