Gorham to State to Old University to Midvale to Mineral Point to Westmoreland to Regent back to campus and home via Johnson-

After spending the day in Chicago I ran at 9pm upon returning to Madison. I started off just in time to see the sunset over Lake Mendota as I went through James Madison Park on the way out. I kind of wished I had brought a camera because it looked really cool with the lake as glassy as it was. The rest of the run was in the dark and it was still fairly hot and steamy. The section by the lookout was sort of nerve-wracking in the dark because there are no lights around anywhere. My stomach bothered me the last three miles or so but it was tolerable at all times.
