As luck would have it, I found the only 90 minutes today when it didn't rain in Redmond. I joined the Sammamish River Trail at city hall and ran a 10k and 8k route I am considering turning into a race for Redmond's Derby Days. I like both of them a lot. We'll see if the city wants to play ball.
The wind was insane. 40-50mph sustained winds for a good chunk of the run. Kept getting blown into the roadway during the crosswind portion. Kind of scary. Afterward, I spent 10 minutes soaking in the frigid Sammamish River up to my shorts line. As much as I hate being cold for the rest of the day, this whole "ice bath" thing after each run is the bomb. |
