Well, when the weather says "I dare you. Go ahead, just try it..." you need to pay attention.

Mike and I were intending on running around Mt. Hood tomorrow, but with temperatures dropping and a large storm system moving through the area, we decided it was an undertaking best saved for another (less frosty) time.

But! Because we each spent a couple hours packing last night and because we have $50 worth of trail food all nicely organized into plastic bins, we thought we should get outside and do something tomorrow regardless of the weather. So, on a less extreme note, we have decided to run along the coast for 25 miles. Eric will join us along the way and the girls will supply us with food and hot soup at a couple of strategically located spots along the route. We are going to run/hike from Seaside to Oswald West State Park.

Bring on the rain!
