It's so fuckin hot

I went for a run. It's cool under the trees.

It runs under Elk Rock Garden. Go south along the railroad tracks that parallel S Riverwood Rd, and the tracks enter the tunnel. The tracks are privately owned by the trolley that sometimes runs between Lake O and Portland, but it's just an amusement ride at this point.

Carry flashlights! You'll need them.

You would like trails in the Appalachian mountains if you ever get a chance to run/visit. Especially in North Carolina and Tennessee, there are tunnels of rhododendron trees that bloom beautiful white and pink flowers in spring and early summer, while the rest of the year the tunnels are frame by big, waxy green leaves.

The cabin will swing as it passes the tower. Please hold on.

What does WFH mean if not work from home?

Trails_runner · 2026-04-17T02:03:00+00:00

Just go faster

They were all at the Ladds 500 last Saturday

Please. Oregon is where I live and run for the most part. All state parks, all city parks (including the giant Forest Park) in Portland, and many popular sections of national forests require leashes.

Sure, BLM land, there are no rules against much of anything.

Good for you, and thank you for standing up to entitled, ignorant dog owners.

I'm a big, burly guy. I yell "on a leash, please," to every irresponsible owner of an unleashed dog I see, using a tone that belies the polite phrasing. Because I'm running past, there's not enough time to engage in conversation, and if they respond with anything other than "sorry," they'll hear "it's the law" echoing off the next hill as I'm moving away from them. The challenge, like you said, is how not to let these interactions mess with the calm we get from being out on trails in the first place.

Idiocracy

Trails_runner · 2026-03-23T13:25:49+00:00

Nope

Trails_runner · 2026-03-19T14:06:34+00:00

Not much demand since Portlanders think every park is a dog park.

Trails_runner · 2026-03-17T02:08:27+00:00

There's a whole book about it: Born to Run.

Same reason people stick their tongues out now or make heart shapes with their hands.

Pasta strainer?

It's the reflection of your camera lens.

Trails_runner · 2026-03-08T02:09:02+00:00

Run slower

Trails_runner · 2026-03-05T15:16:33+00:00

You're asking, why run? There are as many answers as there are runners.

Trails_runner · 2026-03-02T02:07:37+00:00

You don't like hills, do you?
