I went to one of my favorite places to run today, Padilla Bay trail in skagit county. It's a beautiful place always, but when the weather is clear and crisp like today, it's simply fabulous. It was about 30 degrees no wind, perfect for a bright sunny day run.

On the way down I go through the town of Bow. There is a tree just on the other side of the bridge that usually has a couple eagles in it and today they out did themselves for the birders. I really think there's more than 9 in the tree. Can you count more than 9? |

the trail is marked every 1/8 of a mile (so it's a 4 1/4 total) it's great if you want to do any speed work. It's an out and back trail. There are parking lots at both ends.
The north one has more room. Bonus, they each have a sani-can!
