I went for a run late this afternoon, about 4 pm. I’m trying to ramp up my miles a little bit, going from regular distance of 3-4 up to 5-6. So today I went to the little St. Paul’s M.B. Church on Robinson road. That works out to be just over 5 miles round trip. Here is the map from Gmaps Pedometer (route 3760480).
One thing odd about this route is that it fools my sense of direction a bit. I know that a lot of it is northward, but I can’t get it in my mind correctly that the church is also east of home by a substantial distance. But my sense of direction has suffered many ignominies since my Boy Scout days. For instance, I lived 10 years in a house in Estes Park, CO that, to the end, felt like the house faced east. But it in fact faced almost due north. And I could process that mentally but never could make my inner compass accept the facts.
