"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible." TE Lawrence

MCAlpine Creek

Today I had a chance to scope out a new run. MC Alpine creek. The soccer mom van needed repairs. I dropped it off at the dealer and told them to call me when they found the problem. I took off running, expecting a call with in the hour.
After getting off the main road I found the mid point street entrance to the green way. Never running this one before I made my decision to head north. From the point I entered to the end was about 2.5 miles of wide gravel and asphalt. A couple of nice bridges. It was quiet and wide open. I could see the rains last week over flooded the creek, but it had dried out well over the weekend.
I maxed out that end so I turned around to see what the other end had. Still no phone call. In the middle i found the start lines for a 5k cross country course. (not today) 4 miles later and I get to the other end. Still no phone call. I decided to find my way back to the dealer. 2 hours and 12.3 later they still had not made the decision to call me with what was wrong.
I get things settled with the dealership. They give me a ride home. They keep the van overnight. Now I'm sitting here with sore legs wanting my gear bag.
I cant complain too much I found a new running spot. Maybe I'll run to get the van tomorrow.

Gotta run.
