11 mile trail run - Cougar Mtn.

Workout:

  • Type: Run
  • Date: 05/18/2008
  • Time: 06:45:00
  • Total Time: 2:12:00.00
  • Distance: 11 miles
  • Average Pace: 12:00/mile
  • Ascent: 4,554 ft

Hit the trails with Michelle (mhalsne.sweat365.com) and her good friend Sarah. We were supposed to go only 90 minutes which was about as far as I thought I could go. I enjoyed every minute so I’m not complaining. The pace was comfortable but my legs were pretty tired on the hills late in the run.

I love trail running and was so happy to be out there. Back when I lived on the east coast I ran on trails a lot. Seattle is about a half hour away from the foothills of the Cascades but since moving here almost 10 years ago I’ve spent very little time on trails. It’s just too hard to carve out the extra time to drive to and from the mountains. I am hoping this gives me a jumpstart to get out there regularly.

It was a nice day for it, that’s for sure! Where did you run on Cougar Mt? We’re always looking for trails to run (not that we ever get to them).

Sounds like you had a nice run. I’m going to start running again, maybe only 3 miles today. I’m definitely up for Green Lake and coffee in a week or so.
