Silver Falls State Park - Training Run

So.....living in Oregon means rain....and that means running in the rain....no matter what.....no matter where.....no matter when!  So like all good Oregon runners, a 9.5 mile trail run/walk in the rain is in order!
Where:  Silver Falls State Park, Silverton, OR
When:  June 18, 2011 at 8am
How far:  9.5 miles through 10 waterfall areas

I ran with my running buddies....me, Karla, Delmy, Kym and Sharon.  My best friend, Eileen and her sister, Don, also hiked the falls but did a shorter distance.

We hiked behind these falls and then circled around....

to the front of them.

More falls.....

And the rain brings out the snails....can you say escargot???  We grow them big in Oregon.

The misty rain didn't keep us from finishing but we were ready for our coffee and warm, dry clothes at the end!
