I missed my early run because I had to get in to the office to get a jump on a busy week (four loan and acquisition closings), but I brought my gear with me when I took Jacob to his end-of-season soccer party at the Northwest Community Center. Don't get me wrong, I love comp soccer parents and would like to spend all of my social time with them, but I decided to leave the scene for 40 minutes to sneak in my run. I wasn't sure where I'd run in the area (300 N 1300 W), so I just started jogging on the grass around the community center. Fortunately, within a quarter of a mile I ended up on the Jordan River Parkway Trail, which I took north to Rose Park Golf Course and back. There were some truly lovely sections along the opposite side of the river from the trail itself, complete with wood chips in one section and otherwise with nice dirt paths. It was so nice to have a flat trail to run on--we don't have a lot of that in my neck of the woods. The only bummer was that it rained pretty hard throughout the run, but I had come prepared with rain gear, so it wasn't bad at all.
