Today I just ran an easy ten miles. I thought that I would try running on the river trail north of 4800S, to see if the flooding has cleared up. I ran down 2200W to 3500S, and then to the river trail. Less than a minute onto the trail, and I ran into flooding. I didn't feel like wading through water today. (especially since my father-in-law told me about water snakes in the puddles . . .shudder!) So, I turned back around. I ran down to 900W and ended up looping around a correctional facility. This took me over to 700W. I ran to 3900 S, and thought maybe I could get back onto the trail . . . nope. still flooded. So, I ran up to 1300 West, and over to 4700S. At 4700 S, I ran to 1950 W, and back through the neighborhood to my house.
My run meandered all over the place this morning. I usually like my specific routes. (What OCD runner doesn't?) I guess a little adventure never hurt anyone. Now I have to go wake the kiddos up. East High cross country practice starts in an hour! |
