Getting there: I think we all know how to get there! The trail: Well I'm in training for the ""Seattle Marathon"" and I had a day off from school so.... I figured I'd try to run (really a pathetic jog) to the top of Mt. Si (you know cross-training ""just do it!""). I've heard that it has been done so I thought I'd give it a try. Well I started up the trail around three o' clock in the rain and wind. I wore an old pair of hightops, shorts and a windbreaker. The trail is in very good shape and quite ""joggable"" for the most part. You really notice the uphill when you're trying to run. I was able to keep on foot moving in front of the other without stopping. It took fifty-seven min. to get to the basin below the summit and 1 hour & 8 minutes to get to the top of the ""haystack"". It was incredibly windy at the top and it began spitting snow. I remained on top for a good 60 seconds before I began the descent. Enroute I ran into three groups and saw no one on the way out. The whole trip took about two hours. Well see ya on the trail, Pilar.
