Expedition
This is not at all far from my home on the beautiful East Side, so a running expedition was clearly in order. Since I worried that a residential center for children with mental and behavioral health issues might not relish random visitors to their tucked-away campus , I thought I would strike at dawn. As it turned out, I was approaching the hashpoint through the parking lot just as some employees were showing up for a 7 a.m. shift, but the combination of the early hour and the confident-jogger-with-headphones persona seemed to work. The employees seemed to pause, but then think "eh, what the hell, he'll probably take a few laps on our running track and then leave. Maybe he does it every day." Or, maybe they are fine with visitors, and that's just what I imagined the employees were thinking.
Anyway, the hashpoint was just inside a small running track. It was too dark for pictures.
As part of the same run, I completed a project that I've been working on for the last year and a half: to run down every street in a "box" of Portland formed by the Willamette River, Interstates 84 and 205, and Holgate Street in the South. I had only a short stretch of 36th Avenue a half mile south of the hashpoint left to run, so I looped through it on the way to the hashpoint and took care of two arbitrary-travel adventures before breakfast! Total running mileage for the morning: 4.49 miles.
