38th Street Loop/Tracks

I jogged a little bit, maybe four or five minutes total, but mostly walked the 38th Street Loop this morning in 27:03. I stopped for a couple of minutes to walk on the old Levy railroad bed, which is now the equivalent of a hard-packed, one-lane gravel road. It could be walked or jogged on as it is.

I walked for 32:40 out and back, starting north, on the old railroad bed. Just after 47th Street it broadens to the width of a city street, which I guess it might become. Who knows? I hope it doesn't. Heck, it would be fine with me if they left it like it is. For one thing, it makes a great trail for all the poor people in those thousands of apartments around where John Kelly lived years ago. In fact, I saw a guy out there today. He told me he was walking to Kroger, and seemed as pumped as I am by the new route. I had just gotten into a shady area when I had to turn back, so that I could watch Na Yeon Choi dominate this Safeway Classic. I hope I can get up early enough to go two or three miles out on it tomorrow, before it gets hot. Three miles should be enough to get me past the Indian Hills Kroger.
