I ran, and it was good.

The route: out the back door of ML, up the driveway. Take a right, go down Harvard Avenue to Morgan Circle. Take another right, run that loop, run up through a little path to another street, take that to Chester Road. Take a left on Chester, and run. Run past Yale Avenue, where I usually turn. Run past Harvard Avenue, keep on running until I hit the train station. Run down the stairs through the tunnel, up the stairs, onto campus. Run up Magill Walk until I hit the first set of stairs. Stop.

Let lungs fill up with air, return heart to normal rate, let sweat dry. Walk up rest of Magill Walk, go into Parrish for water, look at the block results. Discover that there are a lot of blocks that weren't taken - many in Pitt, maybe even some of the Lodges? Bizarre. Walk a bit more, then head out.

Start running again. Barrel down the hill past Sharples. Run through the tunnel (different one than before), run past the fieldhouse. Run past the soccer field, past the playground. Take a right onto Harvard. Run down the street, run through the Deadly Crossroads (aka the intersection of Harvard and Yale). Stop.

Milage? Unknown. Not even sure how long I ran time-wise. But it was longer and further than I normally run, so that's cool.
