The Shell to SW Bike Path to Glenway to Nakoma to Seminole to some random sidestreet south of the Beltline and back(alone)-

Right after taking one of the hardest tests I have ever seen, in a state of frazzled consternation, I decided to go for a run and clear my head. I tried running from a different campus gym than the one I normally run from since there was a train between me and the other one. I planned vaguely on running toward the back end of the Arboretum but when I crossed the bike path, I looked down it and taking in the picturesque fall scene before me, felt the bike path calling me to run it. It was a pretty cool place and it led me sort of the direction I wanted to run anyway, so I still ran toward the Arboretum, but decided that I didn't really have enough mileage to go in, so I just went south on Seminole and ran through one of Madison's least desirable neighborhoods, Allied/Dunn's Marsh.

The other downside to today was that my hip was sore.
