An unexpected new daily route, at least for the next month, maybe longer. Things on the home front have reached the point where I felt it was time to try moving out, at least temporarily, to get some perspective and just see how the change affects one and all. I have a friend who’s had her old house on the market but vacant since she moved soon after her remarriage, so I approached her about renting it and moved in yesterday. So this morning I ran my new Rock Island route for the first time – which is somewhat familiar, since I sometimes walk the river path here during lunch break or run here when I’m doing weekend distance runs. It was a beautiful morning, and I had a great time checking out the architecture on the way to the river, and even ran into an acquaintance who’s now a neighbor. It turns out I’m even closer to my beloved river bike path here than I am at my Moline house – cool. Here’s the Centennial Bridge, which is part of the great view on my new route.
