8 mile loop out to the Sammamish River trail from my work. Well I nearly made it to the Sammamish trail but had to turn around at 30 minutes, 1/2 mile short, because I only had an hour to run. The route I took follows a tributary of the Sammamish river which eventually empties into Lake Washington and out through the Ballard Canal to the Puget Sound. I literally could take these trails to within blocks of my house but that would called a marathon.

I kept a solid pace the entire way, probably around marathon pace. I don't know how fast that actually is but it felt abut right.
