I took a different direction in running tonight. I ran from the house, down 40th Street to the North. I had to run through the roundabout (no I didn't follow the loop). I was anxious to see how far I could get in 18 minutes in one direction. It was a lot different than running on the bike paths because I had to worry about all of the streets and my calves would tighten up as I had to stop at a few lights, especially on Normal and South. I almost made it to Sumner Street when I turned back home. It was a challenge because that is a pretty big long hill so I had to face it going both directions. It rained a little bit too so that was relaxing. I ended up running 41:33. I'm guessing that I ran about 4.2 miles or so. It's getting close to a month away that I have to run 6.2 miles so I'm getting closer!
