Running in downtown Portland
Wednesday Oct 22, 2008
Did I mention that I love Portland? Nice people, great food, public transit and green building that is top notch. And then there is running trails everywhere. Nike is just down the road. Looking for a late afternoon break yesterday, I laced them up and went downtown to the riverfront park that makes a loop for 3 miles on each side of the river and then across a footbridge to the other shore and you can continue. I only ran 4 miles and then walked back to my hotel, I couldn't figure out how to get across a bridge, so I took light rail to the ChinaTown stop from my hotel.
It is certainly worth the extra luggage to be able to get out and run. Thankfully everything was dry before packing, but that is what plastic bags are for anyway.
