Wherever the trail takes me, WA.
Subject: Tuesday Nights
Over the past couple weeks we have started running from Sky Country Trailhead starting @ 6:15pm.... What started with 2-3 of us, is now about 15 runners or so.  We have only had to use our headlamps towards the end of the runs, but I think it is going to be full time soon.

You are all welcome to join us.  Most runs will go 5-8 miles, but the routes we run can be cut short 2 or 3 times during the run if this distance is too long!  We have all types of runners, but we will wait for you at the top of any climb (and ask that you do the same for us !)....

This is a group of other triathletes, runners, adventure racers, co workers, soccer friends... Just a mix of people looking for a little adventure.

Please feel free to join us!

Let me know if you have any questions!


edit: I should note that a few of us have very good knowledge of the area, so there will be no getting lost (not often, but every once in a while we try to find new routes!)..... We will carry a map !

Couger mountain in Issaquah -
Take I-90 East (if coming from Seattle or Bellevue) - Take Lakemont Blvd Exit (Exit 13?)

To reach Sky Country Trailhead, take SE Cougar Mountain Way off Lakemont Blvd. Turn right onto 166th Way SE and follow it though the housing development and into the park. As you approach the park, note the impressive stone pillars proclaiming "Cougar Mountain Regional Wildlife Park"!

Thanks Mike...

Cougar Mtn is in between Issaquah, and Bellevue.  Pace varies on RAIN, DARKNESS, NUMBER of People going out that week, etc...

But we have been averaging anywhere from 10-12 min miles.... With HILLS, and HEADLAMPS.

It is getting dark quick. Soon we will be starting w/ headlamps on.  We made it about 20 minutes this past week without lamps...

Come one come all... It's good times. 

There are a couple places to cut your run shorter if need be...Making it 4 miles, 5 miles, or stick it out w/ us from 6.5, 7.5, 8 ish miles range (this part varies).

Don't mean to highjack the thread but wanted to add this. The Seattle Marathon has a "shadow event" in Baghdad on 11/29.

Well I made it, but I was a little late.  I was cutting it close on drive time and then I missed a turn-most likely due to the fact that I was hurrying.    I had a nice little jog up to the trailhead, but figuring it wouldn't be prudent to wander further alone in the dark I called it a night. 

I'm a bit bummed that I missed y'all, but I now know what the drive is like and how to get there. 

Maybe next week will work out a bit better.

Until then,
Melissa

Sorry we missed you!!!! It was pretty nice, and we got REALLY lucky w/ the weather!  Shoot me a pm if you have any questions, or are unsure.... We usually end up waiting a few for someone stuck in traffic... Usually on the trail by 6:15-6:20ish.... Hopefully you saw all the cars and know where we are now?

Weather looks somewhat Promising tomorrow... Maybe we will see some of you out there?!  We have 5 committed 4 tentative, and a few other no response yet....  4 days of dry weather hopefully will make the trails just a mushy mess instead of a small creek!!!

I wish I was closer. Just a little to far to drive this time of year.  Tonight would make a great trail run. I hope to make it down once it starts staying light a little longer.
