In an effort to get outside despite the gloomy, rainy days that are standard during this time of year in Portland, a group of my girl friends have organized Saturday morning runs at various venues throughout the city.  Today we ran around the waterfront, last week we ran at Grant Park track, and soon we’ll go to Tryon Creek.  Some of us are more experienced runners and others are just starting out.  It’s been great to get together and starts my weekend off on a positive note.  Our goal is to run a few 5k’s together this summer… for fun of course.
