Oh, the hills

Didn't consider all the hills when we decided to live in a place with "ridge" in the name. I ran my typical 3.5 mile run backwards today, so instead of a 10-block downhill, I did a 10-block uphill. I think I could have walked up the hill faster than I was "running," but I did manage to jog the entire thing without stopping. Good thing it was at the start of the run. Also convenient was the fact that the rest of the run was at a slight downgrade. So overall, my time was a bit better than Monday's run. Now I'm exhausted.

My next run will be in Portland! Very excited for this trip. Anyone know a good five-mile route in Portland that starts/ends downtown?
