Information?

[Angela Bell]

Hi there- I am a runner very interested in beginning trail running in the spring. I would love to get involved with your group at some point but don't have a car and was wondering if there is any carpooling that happens from Portland.  I completed a half-marathon in 1:53, so I am slow but want to really build my endurance.  I run most days of the week and it is not uncommon for me to do 8 to 10 miles on a longer run.  I was wondering if you have advice as to where I should be- what I should prepare for through the winter months.   Any information would be great.  Thanks for your time!

Angela -

Looking forward to running with you. There's usually a few people
coming from that direction so you might be able to find somebody to
carpool with; this board is a good place to start. It'll depend upon
the week and who is runnign and where the run is, obviously.

As for waiting for Spring, I wouldn't bother. Winter is some of the
best times to be out on the trails, especially once the snow comes
down and the snowmobiles pack it all down for us.
