One sided
June 28, 2008
Needed a short and sweet run today. After a week of not running due to a pain in the knee I wanted to get out, but I didn’t want to go too far. I stuck with a variant of a tried-and-true route along the stream. Unlike most others, this one didn’t cross over anywhere.
I’ve never really thought about where the term ‘one sided’ comes from, but maybe it comes from people staying on their own side of a divide. I did today and, to be honest, had kind of a boring time of it.
Through the woods and to the bridge. Instead of crossing, run upstream towards Fuglevad. You need to cross the tracks at Brede, and if you are (un)lucky you might get there just as the train goes by, like I did today. Make the most of your wait and turn to enjoy the view or see what’s on the menu at the restaurant. When you get to Fuglevad, turn left, run up the hill and bear left. Keep going straight, through the intersection, until you get to the cemetery. Go through the gate and run straight across to Blomsterdalen. Up the hill, turning to enjoy the view when you get to the top. Turn left onto the path, then right. Make your way back to the main road, turn right again and then straight to the finish.
