Grove Hill Loop

I went up and into Grove Hill and back around via Ogletree and Wright's Mill. It's a nice cool Fall day, so I wore a long sleeve T.  Probably could've gotten away with short sleeves.

Gettin' out

Wasn't quite sure about my run today.  I was more sure about my music choice.  I got David Bowie's Aladdin Sane a while ago, and haven't really taken the time to try and fall in love with it.  So I decided to give it a listen as it was intended.  I went up Gay and decided to go all the way up to Magnolia and Toomer's Corner, which was quiet, since the Tigers have been at their worst in years and years and lost today to Vanderbilt.  I thought I would do my 5.46 mile run, but decided to extend it a bit by not turning down Woodfield, but heading down to Donahue along College.  I was huffing and puffing up that last hill, but I did keep my feet moving, albeit a little more slowly than usual.

New 4+ route

This evening, after a disappointing Auburn game, a resounding Oregon State game, a soccer game in which my daughter scored a goal (!) and an Orchid Society picnic in Columbus, Georgia, I went out for a run as the sun was setting.  Fortunately, I was carrying a flashlight.  I decided to run up University to Donahue, and instead of turning up towards College I turned towards Longleaf and up into that neighborhood.  I came out on Summerhills and crossed over into Town Creek Park.

Yikes! It's been another long while

Over a month off.  Jeepers.  And still haven't hit my new goal once this year.  But, I did hit the road, went four miles in a decent time, and thus far have lived to tell the tale.
