Mukilteo Trails

September 20th, 2008 , 7:00 am by Michelle Halsne

Living in Mukilteo for 4 years and never knowing about the trails at Japanese Gulch is embarrassing for self defined trail runner.  Embarrassment aside, I am so happy to be introduced to the trails right here in my backyard.  Once again the Downsound Racing connection pays off big.   Bob from the group took me out this morning for the first half of his 2 plus hour run on the trails.  I managed to keep up with him for the loop, if I had to guess my distance I would have said about 7 miles…..but thanks to my new Garmin 405 I know the truth, I ran under 6!  Sometimes the truth really hurts.  But wow look at the elevation gain and loss that’s good to see!

    michelle,
    thanks for your comment. been a really rough week and this week will be pretty bad as we prepare for the memorial service. i know you went through this earlier this year and know what i mean.
    glad to see you’re back to running and that you’re taking it slowly back. it’s the smart thing to do.
    congrats to your team for doing so well in their first race!
    lets talk soon!
