One of the longer Runs

This one starts out at the normal spot. It would start back 1/4 mile if google maps was able to accurately track based on the starting point, but the address is too new so the tracker tends to error out. The run goes to the school in Wildewood, then loops back to the dirt path leading towards the back of Primrose (think its Magnolia place) and take the left onto the dirt track leading to the second exit from Wildewood.

Interesting story there, one car, one truck were parked at the road(pave part) which dead ends there, and as i was running towards them...a lady sans pants and maybe underwear went running from the truck to the car and both sped off...shenanigans were occuring.

Otherwise though it was a relatively uneventful run, with 3 laps around the wildewood track and to add on 3/4's of a mile. All in all the run took 2:40 which is a solid time for the distance and now i hurt. One more long one to go until the NYC marathon

Wildewood 6'er

So here's the run from yesterday, minus the part where I show where I live down here. In total it's a little over 7 miles, but I'll use the Wildewood 6 as the title. It's a nice, relatively easy run with some rolling hills. Total elevation change is about 50 feet total giving some nice little rollers to spring up if you want to push it.

There is no sidewalk, but they have wide bike lanes on one side of the road with the only complaint being the random spots you need to cross the road, but they have pedestrian signs and everyone stops. Plenty of scenery, other runners and shade so you can ditch the hat if so inclined.

Importantly, there is a bathroom at the park in the middle, just run into the parking lot and it's in the second lot on your right. Not that anyone ever needs to hit the bathroom while running....of course not.

Happy Trails

Route's a million - Wildewood edition

Found one that looks to be the new old faithful. It's an easy 3.2 mile run, with some small elevation changes..but there's plenty of space and a nice dirt hill about the 1 mile mark off to the left that provides some fun and excitement....lots of it if you like hill sprints in dirt(which i do)
So anyone in the Wildewood neighborhood in Md can use it, or stop on in and we'll do a few miles

First Run at the New Place

Nice, easy 2.7 mile run in the cold at speed. First run out of the new place so figured I needed to post. It's not a direct start from my house but close enough, great short run. I'll start timing myself next month after I get back on the running horse as a way to track my improvement
