4.89 miles in 46'44"

since i met my cycling goal this morning, i decided to go for my running goal too. i started out from the school at the corner of allen and high, ran a block north to beech. i took beech a block west and then headed south out of town. i ran down argonia road to 30th avenue and then turned around.

running back north toward town, i crossed the river a second time and ran to 20th avenue where i turned east for half a block, then turned north onto lucky lane. lucky lane led to the circular bryana drive which took me back west to main street. crossing main quickly, i took willow another block to the west and then headed north on plum toward the railroad tracks.

a block and a half south of the tracks, the crossing guard started lowering, so i turned east on maple and took the jog over to main. i planned to turn again on oak if the train wasn't past, but it cleared the tracks just before i the turn and i continued north on main all the way to highway 160.

at the corner of main and 160, i turned east and ran to pine where i turned south. i picked up my pace a bit on the home stretch and ended my run at the corner of pine and vine.

when i checked my mileage, i was just a tenth of a mile short of my 5-mile goal for the day. i would have gone out and got that tenth, but i needed to get showered quickly to make it to work on time. maybe i'll run again this afternoon or maybe i'll sneak in a mile or so at noon. we'll see. for now, i'm off to work.
