Run 038 - Howard and Cook

March 21, 2023

I was a great day for a run: no wind, sun, and 30 degrees.  Since it was Tuesday, I met Jerry at his studio and had a nice surprise that his daughter and his 5-month old granddaughter were there.  I got a big smile and a bit of a laugh from the kid.

I planned a route that was easy to follow and would pick up two street that we could run on for miles, Cook and Howard.

The run takes us through all residential streets through an older part of the city.  There’s are street one wouldn’t usually travel down so there were new sights to be seen.

A long sidewalk ahead.

Interesting lawn art.

Maybe this was a store back in the day.

Whoops.

A pretty big house.

When we got to the west end of Howard, we were at Sunset Memorial Cemetery.  Jerry’s wife passed away a few months ago and, coincidentally, her headstone had just been placed and he hadn’t seen it yet so this was a good opportunity.

We headed back east on Cook.

A dog came out and tried to herd us.

Just looking east down Cook.

Saw this in an alley. I’d have gone back to pick it up but didn’t want to drive my car through all the mud to get there.

It was a great run with great company.  Here’s the stats.
