My lease ended, I threw and empty apartment party, I moved homes and now I’m building my neighborhood network up piece by piece. I’ve met two out of my five neighbors. I’ve figured out when trash day is. I’ve located the closest bus stop (yes I use public transpo to go to work!). And I’ve also begun to figure out where to run!
My true running career, if you will, began about this time last year when my crazy friends decided that it would be a good idea for us to sign up and run a half marathon. I took a hiatus from running this summer because Houston is #hotAF. But now that the weather is cooling (aka not triple-digits) I’m beginning to build my tolerance back up as a runner and explore all the new neighborhoods around me.
Bonus: I also noticed that when you cross 7th Street the heights Blvd trail intersects the Heights Hike and Bike Trail, which is a professionally paved trail with a yellow line down the middle. I’m pretty sure I’ve driven over this trail a million times, so it’s exciting to see where it intersects with a normal road. I look forward to exploring that in future runs! More posts on that to come 🙂
