[yesterday’s run: 3.4 miles on Watson Road]
My usual running route is to go up our road to Evans, then east about 1/8th mile to Watson Road and down to the end of Watson Road. Out and back, that makes around 3.4 miles.
Just in the last few days they have put down chip-seal on the formerly all gravel Watson Road. They left a little bit on the far end still gravel only.
The chip seal is as close as they come to pavement on this kind of road. Our road was chip-sealed when we moved in and they have repeated the procedure once since we got here. Watson was always gravel until now.
My wife doesn’t like to run on gravel roads. I don’t think she has ever run to the end of Watson Road, maybe once a long time ago. So Watson Road was my own little running route. I suspect she may start using it now.
