New Territory

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?
