Monroe County Run
After completing Lenawee County, I wanted to get Monroe done before dark. As I was driving over to Monroe, it started to rain.
It was so nice to see sidewalks on the side of the road. There were places on this run without sidewalks, and I wouldn’t say I like running on roads in towns.
Northwest corner of the run.
Across the road, it looked like a school.
In the distance, I could hear the sounds of baseball! I could barely see what was going on, but I loved hearing the sounds of bats, balls, and excited players!
Down the road was a very nice community!
Lots of businesses. Part of my run went through an industrial park.
Then wide open areas to the south looking east.
Again it was raining on this run.
…but not hard. It looked like a pleasant community.
Wabesh Rd was a bigger road, and it had train tracks running right alongside.
At the southernmost east side of the run was Asher Pass Very nice little area.
It was great seeing flowering trees.
Back on Allen Rd heading northwest, this was a busy street, and it was nice to have sidewalks again.
I think this was heading north on Anderson St.
Almost back to my car heading west on Canfield St.
Post 10K photo! Two counties (Lenawee and Monroe.) Time to eat and find my hotel. What’s funny is I had packed two pairs of running pants, but I didn’t pack my running shirts. I had to wear a dress shirt for these two runs. I went to the dollar store and bought two t-shirts for my next two runs.
What drew me to this place was a town with a hotel near the northernmost part of this county. I was super excited when I saw the lake because it looked like a 5k run around the lake. Once I double-checked, half the lake was in another county. So I had to change over to another route completely in Monroe County. Below is a photo of the lake to the north of my run. I couldn’t see it from the run, but I finally saw it on Wabash St after my run was complete.
