This morning we tried another new route - it was okay.  For Leslie's benefit I'll list it:

North on 2700 east from Jenny's, east on 7000 south up to Wasatch Blvd, south up the hill on wasatch (BIG, BIG hill that we walked), then west on Bengal and north again on 2700 east back to Jenny's.

It was really dark in spots and I felt like I was running blind.  Another problem was not enough shoulder on wasatch and too many cars.

We did have one fun thing - another runner joined us for just a little bit.  She's here on business from Nashville and we told her some routes she could take that would get her back to the Residence Inn in Old Mill area.

I loved running down Bengal and actually did a 10 minute mile there.

Thanks for the details Lisa! I have done that route many times, that Wasatch portion is a tight squeeze, but going down Bengal almost makes it worth it!!! Good job Lisa! I am not running today, I had to watch Paul this morning. Next week, I am going to try and run a little every day, I have missed it so much/
