mixing it up
i got out the door at about 8:30AM and headed north on comanche then west on madison. i made may way up some significant hills on madison then after 2 miles of running on the road, i turned onto the trails of the Retzer Nature Center. granted, the terrain isn’t as technical as the trails in the kettle moraine, but it was nice to run on trails again. i guess i didn’t realize how much i missed it.
i headed downhill to the southern portion of the trails and ran through a section called Brown’s Fey. it’s a rather marshy area that has planked bridges to allow folks to hike…or in my case run…through it. i wound my way through the trail and then began the climb back up the hill toward the nature center. i improvised a little extra trail running then headed back out onto madison heading toward home.
as i neared my subdivision, i decided to take a run up the quarter mile hill in Glacier Cone park which is right on the corner of comanche and madison. from the top of the hill you get a great view of the surrounding area. i’ve only run up there a handful of times but need to make a point of doing so more often.
i ran a little more on comanche then stopped my GPS watch with 7 miles elapsed.
