7/24 Today didn’t start well. I had searched for other running routes around here and found Lake Chadwick. Drove there around 8.30am. It turned out it’s a park and you need to buy a permit to even enter it, and that’s a one-year pass for $20 or nothing. Cash only. The man at the entrance stuck to the book. So we drove to another place that seemed, according to the Strava map, to be frequented by runners, only to find out that it was on the side of the road, no foot path at all. Went up a cul-de-sac, found ourselves among some incredibly spacious mansions overlooking the Hudson, and they looked boring as hell. Went home after that, 1.25 miles on the clock.
