Greetings! We arrived in California late
in the evening and pitched camp with relatives in West Sacramento. When
discussing running options for the morning Shannan’s cousin made mention of the
“new” road close to their home. As it turned out, the new part was an extension
of an existing road (albeit fairly new itself). I took the road yet
constructed. Along the way several sections had been cleared for the
installation of a sidewalk. These were cordoned off with yellow tape and
served perfectly as hurdles. I had fun and felt silly all at once.
When complete the road will be an
important connection for the relatively new Raley Field and developing
properties in the downtown area. Also, a fair amount of new subdivisions are
under construction mixed in with existing farms. As I ran I watched farmers
pick, box and load cabbages onto two trucks before the light of day.
After meandering for a while the cleared
thoroughfare joined existing paved roads in an industrial area. I crossed a
bridge and marveled at now defunct barge locks. The “new” road proved most
interesting, for sure. I mean how often do I get to run on a named street with
no road.
Carve a Path. Run.
Tom
