Seattle Runs

So...back in Redmond. Trying to prepare for a big race next year - ideally that Imogene Pass run. My two buddies are sticking with their plans and making good progress - Chuck Howarth is now signed up for the Leadville 100 and Michael Kirk should be signing up for his Mount Rainier climb any day now. So - especially now back at sea level - I need to try and run over 30-miles each week

Monday I did 10-miles on the Sammamish River / Burke-Gilman Trail. It remains one of the best trails anywhere

Here is my start in Redmond at 116th





Heading towards Woodinville



The Sammamish River - Columbia Winery is in the distance



Still some farmland - probably worth millions (?)



Overpasses in Woodinville - the second one was used for the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train



Heading towards I-405 and Bothell





A cool stretch in Bothell about 1.5-miles from our old house





Valhalla - our old neighbourhood



The least fun stretch through Kenmore - along 522





Kenmore Air, a local seaplane company



A favorite bar happens to be along the trail



Log Boom Park



And my run ended as the trail begins to wind through residential areas




Tuesday I took an hour break from the idiocy of work and went for a 6-mile run in the Redmond Watershed Trail, just a short trot from the house













Tomorrow we'll run somewhere with Hudson - he did over 17-miles last week and is all rested from the 24 hours of driving this weekend
