PDX

April 10, 2010 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: high 30s, nice

Comments:
Actually slept pretty solid in the hostel. Woke up, legs felt tired.

Wasn't sure what I was gonna do, but I didn't want to run soggy hills in Forest Park, so I cruised around PDX proper, re-tracing some steps from the Marathon course. Ran dt, then the early stages of the race, then back along the "riverfront" to the edge of the shitty industrial area. Stopped to deuce at the farmers mkt (by what was the 5-6 mile mark), then went west to NW 23rd, ran down that, and back to the hostel.

Nice and easy 7.

Had a BOMB breakfast at Stepping Stone (Smothered B.A. omelette AND half a huge pancake), then Brian and I hit the road on THE BIG SWING: PDX --> Astoria --> Florence --> Eugene. Terrific weather (including for the Arcadia Beach SWIM) until we got to Newport.

Not a bad trip, but too much driving for one day. Didn't get back to EUG 'til after 9PM.
