Running with Ba

So this is my Dad, who is an inspiration to me. He ran cross-country in high school and at the Naval Academy. He's been a regular jogger since the mid-70's, before it was cool. Ran the Boston Marathon for the first time in his late 50's. So pretty much as long as I can remember, he's been getting out in the muggy summer or deep snows to get a few miles in. This was one of the first times I've really gone jogging with him.

Time out, yesterday 28:15 (Woodfield and back)

Today 30:11 (towards Chewacla and back)

Washington Park

So I'm in Portland, OR, where I used to live many moons ago. I'm here for a meeting and staying on my friend Dave's couch for a few days. He lives in NW Portland, not too far from Washington Park. So I ran up there. The hills are much bigger here than they are in Auburn, so they kind of well, kicked my a$$. But I did get some nice views. Washington Park is where the Rose Gardens, Japanese Gardens and lots of other PDX attractions. That's where the two pictures below are from.
