That was a very special run on April 22nd, 2019.
During a short visit to London, I just couldn’t stop… Being jet lagged from a flight from Seattle, and yet, I went running and just continued, especially as I had to get back to my Hotel… So I ran for 2:18 hours.
I jumped from running 17 Km a day to 19 Km.
I ran 17 Km in Seattle several days in a row. This is my run on April 19th, 2019.
Our visit (driving from Portland, OR), took place during the ongoing maintenance work, so anyone running had to take several detours. The kind construction workers not only pointed each runner to the detour and stopped traffic to keep the safety of the runners, but also greeted me on my way to Elliot Bay Marina and upon returning back (“good to have you back, sir”). So thank you Seattle Building and Construction.
Here is my Facebook post from that time:
Portland Oregon is a very special town. We have been there 3 times already. This was our 3rd time and we stayed several days, on our way to Seattle.
I managed to run no less than 17 Km ! We ran at the right hand side of the Willamette River and then towards Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge.
We were on our way to Seattle. We stayed at the north end of California, Fort Bragg.
It was a bit problematic to run due to winds and bad weather.
As I wrote already, running in Pacific Grove – Monterey is one of the greatest routes to run. You can see from the photos why…
This time I ran 16 Km.
Santa Barbara, CA, has became our second home for a while. This run was one of many.
I increased the distance to 17 Km, mostly up the hill on the way north and then down the hill. This is one of my favorite places to run.
