Before I begin, Portland was voted top 25 best running cities by Runner's World magazine.

And the Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade is one of their recommended runs. One loop is 3miles and I intended to do 2 loops. I started out pretty fast, which is always a bad idea. I wanted to run hard and I thought I could deal with the heat but I couldn't. It was scorching heat unlike the humidity of Malaysian hit. My skin burned from the sun on it. I ended up pushing myself real and hard doing only 5km, of with I felt almost like passing out.
This is where I start running from.
Then across the Hawthorne bridge
This is the docks where we dragonboat from!

Nice view! I want to run here too.. :(
Did the rumbling sounds of tyres drive you nuts when you ran across Hawthorne bridge? :D
Good thing it's summer because the bridge gets slippery during rainy winter days. I felt my car slip a few times when I drove over that bridge last time.
