today’s morning constitutional was pretty hot and humid. temps were in the upper seventies and the dew point was in the upper sixties. i ran 3 miles out and back on the glacial drumlin then improvised another mile in my neighborhood for a total of seven miles then to the shower i went.
where the sidewalk ends
i opted to change things up today and ran along a road that i don’t normally frequent. nearby is a section of new condo units that have sprung up along the west side of the town. the concrete sidewalk was likely poured in the last year or two and came to an abrupt end at the edge of the condo development. i came to a stop and for a moment pondered whether to do a 180 for home or bound over the culvert to run along the side of the country road.
my choice was the country road and as i made my way back into town i kept a sharp lookout for oncoming traffic. before long, i was in familiar surroundings and made my way past uw-waukesha towards home. overall, i mustered seven miles in a few ticks past an hour and hit the shower.
eight was enough
after a quiet father’s day watching golf on television (and nodding off a few times) i geared up and headed out for a run. initially, i went west along the glacial drumlin but turned around when i spotted some geese along a rather narrow section of the trail. i then headed east on the drumlin and headed into town. i then did another 180 and headed back towards my subdivision, passing a family riding bicycles along the way. in all, i mustered eight miles at a leisurely 8:40 pace and called it a day.
saturday sweat
i got myself out the door by 8AM with temps in the lower 70’s and much more humidity than we’ve had lately. my route went south on comanche then east on the glacial drumlin and south on the fox river recreation trail. after five miles i did a 180 and headed for home. overall i mustered ten miles and opted to walk a bit more than i usually do to cool down a bit.
