It’s warming up but we get off the levee early in the run and have water there.
6 Miles Easy(using 8 Mile map) is to the Flagpoles on the levee and back.

**Another solid plan for 6 Miles so you can get off the levee is to have a running buddy leave a car at City Park which is 6 miles.
Water at the Vet School pine trees.
It’s hot so you may want to put your own 2nd water at City Park Oak

Pelican to Mars Steady Run
This is a new “loopy” kind of route. There are numerous ways to shorten the miles.

Plus I have thrown in Hillsdale for both FUN and to keep the route on this side of Acadian.
Stick around after for a beer or cocktail.
