We beat the Burnside
Hannah and I went out at o-dark-thirty (her words) to walk in the
Beat the Burnside race. One of those random events that doesn't benefit breast cancer research or childhood literacy, just a pleasant downhill 8K from the World Forestry Center through Washington Park and along Burnside to the East side of the bridge. The goal is to start as late as you can and still cross the bridge before it opens at 9:00. We finished with 4 1/2 minutes to spare; perfect timing, except for the lack of small t-shirts at the finish line. (But as Susan Komen hasn't ever gotten the formula right, I wouldn't expect the BtB group to, either.) Then we wandered back and had free lattes at Vivace. An excellent Portland morning.
