Kalkaska

Kalkaska County Run

Started on Chalker Park and turned SW on Cedar St (the main drag).
Took a picture in front of the fish fountain. Kalkaska is home to the National Trout festival.
Crossed the road and took a picture facing North.
I think this is heading west on 1st st.
Running past the Cemetery on Kalkaska Rd.
Found the football field and water tower.
I think there was a slight sprinkle that was off and on during this whole run. Very light sprinkle.
This is probably West St or 3rd St. Dug the shadow on the road.
Ran past a school.
Almost done with the run. Heading back to the park.
The drive home on 72.

This is another one those close counties that I could just do from home. I was pretty sure that I wanted to explore the downtown area and go places that I haven’t been before. Drew up a plan on MapMyRun:

I took pictures of the map, that way I would have the map on my phone. that would give me a 5k distance if I just followed the map. Problem: sometimes you can’t see that phone in the sunlight. also it’s difficult to read the street names on screen while running. You’ll notice that my completed run doesn’t match this map, but it’s similar.

Also, before the run I really wanted to shoot hoops. I hadn’t done that in a while. So I offered a kid playing basketball $1 if he could beat me in a game of horse. No charge if I beat him. Really I just wanted to shoot a basketball. He did beat me, but it was close.
