Alki Beach. 5:30 p.m. I worked in West Seattle so I decided to try a new place to run that had lights. It was misty rainning but luckily not heavy. I got some salt water on my face while running and had to keep wiping off the mist. I was so upset this morning when I realized I forgot my Garmin Forerunner! I had to estimate my run. Parked near a small park and ran from there-Marine St. to Alki beach street (made a right) ran all the way to a building where you rent Kayaks, not quite to Saltys. I felt very good! I just wanted to know how far and what my pace was.

TT: about 40 min.

I think I ran a total of 5 miles. Somewhere from 4.8-5 miles I believe.

That's awesome I was thinking what a great place Alki woudl be for a run too! Jeff and I walked the trail a couple times while I was preggers and ate at Dukes it was SO nice! I think you could get a ton of mileage and the scenery is super nice too! What do you think whats the max mileage you could get there?

Yeah the scenary was Simply AMAZING!! Seattle at night, all the lights, with little fog/marine mist...goregous run! I was thinking it would be fun to do that run with you and Nicole sometime. I wished I had my garmin so I don't know for sure how long you can run on there but I bet you could get over 10 miles in maybe out and back. but that is just a guess. I ran past Dukes, looks like a cool spot!

Alki beach is the best, especially in the summer!

Yeah, I've only been there once or twice in the summer but it was beautiful! Maybe when it warms up would be a good time to run there.
