Distance: 3.69 miles Time: 7 mins

That's if you go by car and if you turn right instead of left coming out my house. I think you can take off 1 1/2 miles if you just get on Tuolumne. But if you're running to the Toyota dealership and wanting to go 41 minutes, you can add some land back into your run by going up on the hill where all the day laborers wait and by running on dirt instead of on the sidewalks on Admiral Callaghan that no one ever walks on. You could even startle a flock of black birds into flight and worry for a second that they might be a bad omen until they take off as a giant grid and you see the hundreds of red and yellow swatches on their wings that pick up the setting sun and warm everything from the retina to the soul with a glow that is welcoming even in 90+ heat.
