CTS 1,071: Running on streetcar tracks

NEW ORLEANS -- Today we decided to head out away from the French Quarter and along St. Charles. Once you get out past the traffic circle, the road is divided by a green median that contains two sets of trolley car tracks.

We saw several runners headed back along that way on the grassy tracks. So it seemed like a good fit.

We came back after turning around a little more than 2 miles in. In between the tracks are well-worn dirt paths. It made for a really nice track to run back to town in.

Time: 9:30 a.m.
Temp: 47 degrees
Gear: CFLST (took off halfway through), SST (Race for Research), shorts, Nike Air Pegasus/D4.
