I recently moved to the Seattle area from Oklahoma City, and every single day I'm in awe of the beauty here and the seemingly endless number of trails throughout and surrounding Seattle. I can be running through a rainforest and look to the side to see the ocean. It's astounding. A runner's paradise. And the temp is always perfect.

I've heard Seattle is amazing from so many people -- and I still have never made it up there! I want to, though.

After doing the Jack and Jill in North Bend, WA in тАШ22, we spent a day in Seattle before taking a red eye home to Florida. Maps are 2-dimensional for a reason тАж they donтАЩt give you elevation so that you decide against visiting somewhere thatтАЩs too high. We went to Kerry Park north of the city to see the city and Mt Rainier. I would imagine that you could map out a street route around there that would give you all the hill work needed to prepare for a race.

Seattle is absolutely a runners paradise! All the hills make you strong as well!!

I miss running through the puget sound area a lot, even though IтАЩm in an equally enchanting area.

It truly is! I do sometimes miss the deep forests of the PNW though.
