Evening: February Winter Conditioning Run: 6+ Miles - Bridle Trails State Park

This route will cover 3 parks: Bridle Trails, Westside and Marymoor Parks.

This is a longer trail run through three parks and a greenbelt that connects them. We start by running half way around the perimeter of Bridle Trails, then take the Bridle Crest trail through a greenbelt past the Bellevue golf course and Microsoft's RedWest campus to the Westside Park. We'll traverse Westside Park down to Marymoor. We'll return to Bridle Trails and run the rest of the perimeter.  Expect the run to take around two hours. Almost all of it is on trail, but there will be a few short stretches of pavement. The route is mostly flat or rolling hills except for the climb from Marymoor to Bridle Trails. 

• Pace: 12-15mins/mile. Prioritizing steady movement and keeping the group together.
