Training at River Meadows Park




Today was another good fun day of training. Instead of just hard intervals or a mid-week time trial, I went out to a "secret-squirrel" location in Snohomish County. River Meadows park is a large County Park East of Arlington. It has wide open grass fields, deep sandy trails, great fall leaves all over the ground, run ups, all along side of the Stilliquamish River. I would truly love to someday host a race here. Maybe I will have to work on that for next year.
I started out with a 30 minute warm up on my loop and then went at a good high tempo speed for 20 minutes, then mellow for 20, then again followed up with another high tempo of 20 minutes. Once the work was done, I continued to cool down for another 15 minutes or so before packing it in.
I do have to say, that the smell of dead salmon permeated the park, as I'm sure those that didn't make it up to the smaller streams "bought the river bank". I guess that it's part of the "cycle"!

Talk to ya later.
