I decided that having lived here for an entire year I ought to at least do the classic Madison long run: around Lake Monona (the smaller of the two major lakes Madison is on an isthmus between).

I woke up a bit later than I intended and thus it was a bit hotter than I would have liked. I was pretty dehydrated by the end but otherwise it was an enjoyable run. I covered a ton of new ground, close to half the run, and managed to only get lost once. The rule in the City of Monona seems to be to follow Winnequah wherever it goes, similar to Washington Blvd. I can see myself repeating this one.
