No run today.  Left early driving a UHaul pulling an auto transport headed for Yakima, Washington.  I am moving my son's family there so he can go to medical school.

Decided to forego the run today so we could get the truck unloaded before it got too hot.  It's supposed to be almost 100 today!

I was finally able to get a run in this trip.  It was a warm morning, probably over 70 when I finished.  I ran the Yakima Greenway trail all the way up to Selah, then back south and took the west trail along the Naches river and back.  Then south for a while before looping back to the hotel.  I love cities with excellent Greenbelts!

Total 15.04 miles.
