A new loop

(More blog entries from ryan)

Path flooded? Take a right.

There is a bike path not far from my house. (Sounds like a line from a Springsteen tune.) It follows a river and is a really nice place to go for a run. So yesterday afternoon I headed out. I got about 3/4 of a mile down the path to find my way blocked by a large amount of water. The Nor'easter had flooded my path.

Initially, I was a little bummed because I was looking forward to my run. But instead of wading through shin deep (and cold) water, I took a right on another path. Then I took a left and another left, then a right, over a bridge...and before I knew it I had made a pretty nice loop—a loop I probably never would have tried if my usual route hadn't been flooded. So my flooded run turned into a dry, new loop. Not a bad way to spend the afternoon.
