The weather here is really pretty mild. And extended forecast is calling for a cloudy weekend. So I just wanted to give ya a little tip- be prepared for cold. Our afternoon run will probably not be awful. At best, mid 80&#39;s, so don&#39;t fret! Oregon is excited for you too! This is a beautiful place to run, so many trees, and views, you will hardly have to think about anything but watching the scenery go by! Good luck!
