Encanto Golf Course

I've lived near the Encanto Public Golf Course for about 10 years, and I've never used it in the year plus I've been running. Last week I was looking at a satellite map of the route I usually run, and I thought, "I should start using that." Today I did. I think this is my new favorite route. The track is mostly grass, gravel or packed dirt. This was very, very nice on the legs. The scenery is very pleasant. There were a few people out walking their dogs, walking themselves and even playing golf (at 5AM!). There is a gaggle of geese near the large pond, and they ran at me as I ran by. I picked up the pace a little because I've heard geese bite, and I didn't want to find out! This was such an enjoyable route that I think it's going to be my usual mid-week run from now on.
