The Wife and I went to San Antonio to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and it was on that day that I also ran. I was going to do my recovery run on Monday, but walking around SeaWorld and Fiesta Texas on successive days was enough of a recovery for me. I mapped out a route for Tuesday, which dawned with temperatures in the mid-50s, on surface streets, but decided when I left the hotel that I would try the River Walk. However, I did it with a twist. Instead of going through the restaurant and tourist section, which would have been mostly deserted by my 10 a.m. start time, I decided to head north. I was surprised.
The route along the San Antonio River went much farther that way than I expected, and the only surface streets I ran on during the 6 miles were when I got to Brackenridge Park. Otherwise it was scenic, well-curated, and much nicer than running the streets. I had to backtrack a couple of times, and on the return route I navigated through the Art Museum grounds, but otherwise it was a very enjoyable run at a good brisk pace.
