The Road Not Taken

So we started today by trying our legs in a 5K run.  The section of the Oak Leaf Trail that meanders through Wauwatosa beside the Menomonee River is a smooth paved path.  It was the first time that we got out and ran together (my first 5K was "Storming the Bastille" with the guys last summer) and it was the first sunny, warm day that we've had in Milwaukee in a long time.  There were plenty of people taking advantage of the warm weather, and we were soon mixed together with bikers, joggers, walkers, and dog-walkers.  The loop around and back took us through the heart of Tosa, along the parking lot for the Farmers' Market, over the railroad tracks and wooden bridge, and past the tables of unsympathetic beer connoisseurs at Cafe Hollander.
