Slow run, but I’m recovering, plus it was a trail and I had to jump a few logs and avoid MOST of the nettles. Decided to try out the little trail by Union Slough. Pretty flat (except I went the wrong way at first, hence the log jumping). Very pretty day, and while the trail isn’t long (only a mile) I can see running from home to the end and back for about a 4.5-5 mile round trip. Roy waited for me at the trailhead and watched me run (lest a monster eat me), since someone dropped my cell phone in the toilet and it no longer works.

Wrong turn!

Nice little trail

It does grow “up” a bit! I used to be SO allergic to Scotch Broom!

Then we went to Seattle, had lunch at Cheesecake Factory (note to self…don’t look at nutrition information next time), and wandered around Pike Place for an hour. Saw “Grease” with Taylor Hicks as Teen Angel, and got his autograph for my classroom wall. (I had it from when he was on the American Idol tour, but it burned up.) A very very nice Memorial Day.
