Running in Skagway


Running through Skagway requires a little bit of creativity. I first run down to the cruise docks, beginning a a sign labeled "Mile 0" and run north through town to "Mile 1." I then run another half mile out toward Dyea and cross the Skagway river. It's usually at this point that I get nervous about bears and decide to turn around.
Can you tell it gets really windy here?
I repeat this a few times, depending on how good my playlist is that day, before returning home, where I take off my shoes and ponder the worth of getting a gym membership.
After learning that the salmon are going to begin running upstream in another week or two, I think I'll be first in line to get a gym membership Tuesday morning.
