Until the singletrack thaws and dries a bit more, there's won't be too much interesting to write about on the backcountry running front here in the high mountains. Yet, it's shaping up to be a great season, what with the early spring and some nice indications that I have a good shot at some fun ultra-distance outings this year. Top of this list - because what is a running season without a few goals? - is an early September unsupported trip around the
Wonderland Trail, which circumnavigates Mt. Rainier.
While planning and training for that outing are in embryonic stages, I recently found myself in the shadow of that hallowed ground on a spring break trip to Seattle with my family. While there, I could have sought out some of the classic singletrack the area has to offer. Instead, I took my runs to the road, which is always a nice switch since the vast majority of my miles are trail miles in the high season.
Road running in the city also offers a completely different set of photo opportunities. So I took my camera out on one of my North Seattle/Burke-Gilamn Trail runs to document things. Photos below.
