I hadn’t run the Lake Run since 2011, so I was looking forward to returning to one of my favorite races this year. Saturday morning was beautifully sunny and in the 50s – perfect running weather for me!

2015 marks the 39th year for Lake Oswego’s Lake Run. This notoriously hilly race is one of my favorites. Both the 5K and 10K enjoy great views of the lake and meander through some of Lake Oswego’s neighborhoods. Although I haven’t run this race in several years, one of the things that stood out to me about it in the past, besides the hills, was the great community support. People were out in their front yards…
