Engineering hall through the Arboretum to Martin St to Fish Hatchery to Wingra Creek Bike Path to John Nolen to Hamilton to Gorham-

I mapped out a somewhat convoluted but overall quite interesting route from campus to my new apartment and ran home today. It took me through the Arboretum and along some pretty scenic terrain. However, my stomach was a serious hindrance today and I spent a good 20 minutes walk-jogging in circles in the Arboretum looking for the restrooms (or really anywhere suitable I'm not that picky). I also found myself completely covered in flies. There was a massive swarm following me through the woods.

While this route has promise, the run was bad and this should probably not be repeated until the fall when some of the bugs die off.
