Day 312 in run streak, 3,6 kilometres. This was, sadly, my last run in the great Seattle’s Ravenna Park. Tomorrow, it’s back to running in my dear home forest! 😀

Day 311 in run streak, 2,9 kilometres. Yet another slow, easy recovery run in Seattle’s Ravenna Park. Great weather, perfect temperature for me: slightly chilly so I don’t get over-cooked when running! 😀

Day 310 in run streak, 3,3 kilometres. Today I did another slow, easy recovery run in Seattle’s Ravenna Park. Legs still quite sore after my trail run on Wednesday. My right knee is totally back to normal though, so that’s great! Not a single stab of pain on the run this morning! 🙂

Day 309 in run streak, 2,7 kilometres. Today I did a slow, easy recovery run in Seattle’s Ravenna Park. I started around 6am, so it was still quite cool in the air. For some reason, my legs still felt very heavy and stiff.. 😀

I’m looking forward to doing my next three run streak runs in Ravenna during my Seattle stay!

Today, on my run streak day 308, I was fortunate enough to run trails in the shadow of the magnificent and slightly surreal Mount Rainier, WA, USA. Specifically I ran 18,2 kilometres up and down the Ranger Creek Trail. The vertical ascent on the run was approximately 1,1 kilometres which my legs feel very keenly now. 😀

I realized today something I’ve noticed before but never put the finger on: forest earth smells different in the US compared to Sweden. Not so strange, maybe. Especially not here, as the earth here is volcanic. Check this cool volcanic cliff!

The trail was switchbacks galore! Check this out for a feel for it:

It was a gloriously lonely trail run. During my hours on and around the trail, I only three rangers, eight mountain bikers, a frog, a couple of birds, a squirrel and a few insects. This was one of the cool views from my run (Mt. Rainier was hiding in the clouds..):

Tomorrow morning I look forward to run in Seattle’s Ravenna Park, which apparently features trails to run! Great!
