Sunday, hubby and I had a wonderful run around the
Wehrmann Lake at the
Chalco Hills Recreation Area in eastern Nebraska. It is something like a 5.8 mile loop. Since I was scheduled for a 6 mile run, it was the perfect length! Even better, the walk back to the car after the 6.0 mile run was 0.2 miles, making a total of 6.2 miles or 10km! With the walking, the 10k ended at 1:11, which I don't think is too bad considering it was supposed to be an easy run and the last bit was walked. I felt like I could have run faster through most of it if I wanted to. The last few tenths of a mile, I did run faster, though.
It was a nice place to run. The walkway was concrete and in great shape. We saw many birds, including a western meadowlark that serenaded us. (The western meadowlark is the
Nebraska state bird.) I think in the summer it would be rather hot and probably thick with mosquitoes. Maybe still good for early morning runs, though.
