I've lived in the Snoqualmie area for five years so it's not every day that I run a route completely new. Today was one of those days. I ran from my house to Issaquah along the Preston-Issaquah trail. We are blessed here to have hundreds of miles of runnings trails that are converted from old railways. The surfaces vary between paved and gravel/dirt, but they are generally beautiful. This one was no different. I had run from home to Preston a few times but never continued down all the way to Issquah. The trail actually leads all the way into downtown Seattle. Maybe when I feel like running 27 miles into work I will try it some time. Beautiful day although I am still pretty sore from Wednesday heat workout. Still battling the effects of dehydration. |
