The beginning of May started to yield somewhat (I said somewhat) nicer weather up here in the pacific northwest. We haven't quite hit 70 (come on Seattle, do it BEFORE July this year!) but we have had several very nice days in the 60 degree range. So much so that Justin and I have taken the opportunity to go on several long walks. Meaning: 2 + hour walks. Which, by the way? Are actually quite a workout. I know, we both laughed at the words walk and workout in the same sentence, too, until our quads hurt the next day and we looked at each other like, really?! We are both active people- me a runner, Justin a biker and walking just seemed like it would be the "off" day activity. Um, yeah. It actually made both of us sore... perhaps due to the length of time but STILL. It was perfect though and with Justin on these long walks in Bellevue (we've left from the building we work in), I've explored some pretty cool parts of Bellevue that I didn't even know existed and that I subsequently tucked away for future run knowledge. A few pictures:
Down by the water... I think this was on a walk that we took one Saturday when we decided to walk from Kirkland to Bellevue (about 10 miles...and at the end this meant two people ready to be DONE walking).
And another shot- Kirkland marina.
A few days later- it was actually sunny (GASP) and we went on a walk around the water in Bellevue.
See, sun! There is really nothing better than sunny days in Seattle...especially when it means that summer is just around the corner.
