Run 157 - Around Eagle Cliffs Elementary School

March 25, 2024

I usually try to get a run in on Mondays, but shorter as I have a longer run planned for Tuesdays.  Today seemed like a perfect day to run the streets near Eagle Cliffs school as I’ve covered everything else that connects to that neighborhood so it’s an “leftover” and it would give be about 4 miles. We’ve had some cold weather and snow but by noon it had cleared up a bit.

The route plan:

First off, let me say that like many of these runs this will take me down streets I’ve never traveled before and as I went through them I was pleasantly surprised as the houses were not the usual Height-splits-entry types.

I parked at the school.  It’s quiet as its spring break.

The school is almost surrounded by open, state land.

Looking back at the school from Constitution Avenue.

The out and back on Looking Glass Drive and the first hill of the day.

Looking east on Calico.

A different type of architecture.

And across the street is a nice big one.

Nothing built here.

Constitution and Governors.

The next 34 images were on Constitution looking north onto the swath of state land.

Nice brickwork.

That was it.  A shorter and pleasant run, a nice way to spend a Monday early afternoon.
