Today I arrived in Seattle for another week of interviews. This time I had some scheduling snafus which means that I'll be spending 9 days here... 9 days to find new places to run and explore. Being a town full of running enthusiasts, routes shouldn't be too hard to find. My first adventure was around Green Lake Park:
It's January, so reality was a bit less sunny & picturesque, but despite the cold, rainy weather it was refreshing to see the running trail well-populated. When running in new places around dusk, I appreciate the "New Year's" newbies, if only for safety. And in case I get lost, it's nice to have people to ask for directions.
Today's run also involved one of the classic new run bonuses: what I thought was a 4 mile run turned out to be 4.85. Wouldn't have run that far otherwise & didn't need to, but honestly, I can't complain.
Have you done any exploring lately, at home or away from home?
Looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTry the Burke Gilman Trail if you get the chance! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm in a full blown running route rut. Needs me a new trail fast!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Seattle!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your interviews. Sounds and looks like a fun place to run.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your interviews. I agree it is nice to find new place to run. I do it every time I go to other cities or countries for some work meeting.
ReplyDeleteHome, home! I use the longer runs (sans Sunday) to explore the city :)
ReplyDeleteThere is also another trail, going from downtown into north Seattle, starting in downtown near the water, that I really liked when I was there. I don't remember its name but I'm sure Seattle-ites would recognize easily what I am talking about!
