"Cross Training"

I was awake at 6am this morning. This might have had something to do with the fact that I went to bed at 9pm last night (see previous post about 13.1 mile run). We didn't really have any plans for our Sunday, I figured that maybe we could get outside, enjoy the sun, and do some cross training. Being that it was so early, I got the idea to go on a hike at a super popular area before it got too busy. I found my Best Easy Day Hikes Portland, Oregon book and, given that we had already completed #1 (Hoyt Arboretum - awesome hike), we decided to do #2 - Lower Macleay Park to Pittock Mansion.

Holy beautiful hike batman. And it was a hike. 850 feet gain 3.8 miles out and back. Penny got to come and loved every second - especially all of the dogs on the path. It was nice to get our legs moving and to get some fresh air.
