It ain't Chinese algebra!

Tried to find the path that follows the river.  I'm thinking it's a 'proposed' path as I couldn't find anything.

Y2 (275) 

With Ryan as he slept in the jogger.  Wish I was running the Portland marathon this weekend.  Next year...

Type A (199)

I found a good loop course to 124th street that's exactly 6 miles.  Long sleeves and gloves for the first time.  It has begun...

A simple 2 miles this morning as I watched the Portland marathon. I was able to see Jason @ miles 1, 5, 11 and 25 on a very spectator-friendly course. Wish I could have ran the entire course but that will just have to wait until 2010.

5 miles tonight after work with Ryan.

Y2 (280)

Simple run before work.

Type A (203)

Loop behind Fred Meyer.

Cumulus (315)

Ran 5.5 with Ryan and then 1.5 more to cool down.  Pushed Ryan to a 6:29 final mile, his stroller PR. :)  We've had the stroller for two weeks and it's been an awesome purchase.  The rains are coming next week so we may not get out much in the upcoming months.

Y2 (287)

4 miles with Ryan.  Probably that last run with him in 2009.  It was fun while it lasted.

Type A (207)

Hospital Loop.  Closest thing to the golf course loop in Medford.

Cumulus (320)

Ryan's loop, minus Ryan.  10 pull-ups at the middle school (3 mile mark).

Type A (212) 

Tigard loop, clockwise.

Y2 (295)

Random loop south of the house.

Type A (217)

Modified hospital loop.  I ran across the freeway and then a loop behind the hospital, then home the same way.  Pretty good course for hills but it's sort of a pain to cross through town and over the freeway.

Cumulus (326)

River trail.  Pro: away from traffic, portion on wood-chip trail.  Con: many turns, hard to get into a rhythm, garmin worthless. It's good for a couple runs per week though.

Type A (221)

Decent loop that I'll run again.  I climbed Boones Ferry Rd and took a left after the HS.  Followed the road to 65th and north to the hospital.  Looped behind the hospital and then home over the freeway.  Lots of hills but not much of a shoulder. 

Legs feeling good as I continue to increase weekly mileage and I'm happy to be running again.

Cumulus (336)

Great run today.  I ran to the high school and discovered the cross country course that loops around the school and city park next to it.  It's an awesome gravel trail that had cement markings (like headstones) every 400 meters.  The school's acreage is huge--a track/football field, two practice fields, soccer field, 6 tennis courts and the city park next to it.  It will be great to get off the roads and away from traffic a couple times a week.

Y2 (303)

River trail to Tigard HS then looped around past the shopping mall.  Found a pull-up bar around mile 5 so I jumped up and did 20 pull-ups.

Going to play basketball tonight.  Hope I don't roll an ankle like usual.

Cumulus (342)

Basically the same course as Monday as I ran to the HS and looped around the XC course.

Y2 (311)

Ryan's loop (minus Ryan) with 20 pull-ups at mile 2.  Added a bit more up Teton to Boone's Ferry and home.  New shoes always feel good.

C2 (7)

Random course behind Fred Meyer and next to I-5.  Came out on Boones Ferry Rd just south of the HS, then returned home.  I picked up the pace the last 2 miles and it felt really good to do so.

Y2 (316)

Back roads to the Lake Oswego Starbucks off of 217.  Same route back.

Cumulus (353)

Basketball tonight.  No mileage but I have 2 massive blood blisters.  That should count for something...

I'm more sore today from last nights basketball than I was after the Eugene marathon in May.  I'm getting old....

Ryan's loop, extended.  22 pull-ups at mile 4.

Cumulus (360)

13 miles around Medford. Golf course loop, St. Mary's loop, past Sprint and up Biddle to McAndrews.

I miss Medford.
