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!
