New things!

Yesterday was another 5 mile run. Instead of starting at home and doing the same old paths I always do I got to start at Jon’s who created and escorted me on my run. We started off on SOM and ran towards Post Rd. This was the first time I had ever run on Post so it was a new experience, which had it pros and cons.

PROS:
New scenery
Not very hilly
Pretty trees changing colors
Not to much traffic
Made me run faster since it was a main road

CONS:
Narrow roads, with no side to run on
Fast cars
Drop off on side of street

After we got off Post Rd. we went into a neighborhood that had fairly new, where we got a chance to see some Ryan homes (homes that pretty much all look alike with a few differences). After we ran through the neighborhood we then continued our run to Liberty where we saw a crazy driver who was honking at us and slowing down to but not pulling over for a while. To my surprise it was Karen, she was home form the weekend and showing a friend around town. It was nice to catch up with her for a little, she is still her same old crazy self, but the weather was getting cold and we had to continue our run. The start up was a little rough because my knees were getting sore from the cold and the quick pace we were going. After we got off Liberty we continued down Post Rd. again (where did Kelly D live, I was looking for her house but then realized I had no clue where to even look). We circled down another neighborhood which was all duplexes, and went back to Jon’s place. Over all it was a nice run which was ran at an 8:35 pace.
