Steve, Cathy, and Nicholas -- Steve's running log: Double loop route (created 2013-07-13)

Double loop (about 5.1K). This is a long route that combines the medium loop route and the long loop route. I head out from my normal starting point of 148th Street near the Pavilions swimming pool. I run towards Mission Road and turn north. I run down "no brake" hill and cross to the opposite side at the bottom of the hill. Then I double back a short distance to the entrance to Ironwoods Park. I run downhill into Ironwoods Park past the children's playground. Then I head up a short hill to the north end of the park and run along a paved trail towards the eastern edge of the park. I head south but instead of heading up the very steep hill near the southwest corner of the park, I continue running along the medium loop for a bit, but then turn near the barn and head up past the cabins. It is just as much of a climb, but it is spread out over a longer distance and doesn't seem as bad. I run along the south edge of the park, continuing along the same wooded areas as the long loop. I head uphill out of Ironwoods Park, then uphill on "no brake" hill. Then I turn on 148th Street and return to my starting point.

The crosswalk on Mission Road was moved a bit further south in October 2014, so this run is now shorter by about 0.2 kilometers.

The black circle represents the most recent run.
