Run 185 - Finishing up Briarwood

July 6, 2024

It another Saturday and Shelley and I met at the Y but with few, if any, runners, we headed to Briarwood to finish off the street in that neighborhood.  I made my first jaunt here on June 24 which is written up here which was a 4.6 mile run.  Today route looks to be a bit longer.

What the map doesn’t show is that this area is quite hilly.  After yesterday’s run, which was all hills, it would be nice to run something flat but that was not on the agenda today.

Off we went….

They are pretty clear that they don’t want anyone on their gold course who doesn’t belong.

The view…

Check out the retaining wall on this place:

We made it to the far end of McMasters and headed back uphill.

We stopped to look at some yard art.

I’m glad that I’m not mowing that.

We headed east on Briarwood and town onto Cardiff Road to circle that neighborhood.  There’s a hill of two.

We turned onto in aid and spotted some wildlife.

Then on Dozer, Shelley almost got trample by one of those.  I shot this photo right before it ran across the road.  If you look closely you can see its legs under the tree branch next to that black car.

Here’s zoomed in look:

We continued through that neighborhood.

The map showed us going back down to Briarwood Blvd. a turning left and taking that out a way.  However, we didn’t get far before running into a gate.

We turned around and headed back to where we’d parked.  It was a bit shorter that we thought it would be but with the hills, that was fine with us.

It’s interesting to note that when I ran this area on June 24 I did the exact same distant, 4.61 miles at the same pace.  Weird consistency.
