8 mile run with hills and surges

Today I did an 8 mile run on Wildwood trails in Portland Oregon. It was inspirational to start out my run with the sound of bag pipes in the distance. The music was coming from the Vietnam memorial. It made me think of all the brave soldiers through the years that made great sacrifice for the protection and safety of others. Having a 5000 square foot city park with 80 miles of trails through a beautiful rain forest, is one reason I love Portland.
