It was a great day for a walk in Gruene! I was the only participant from TOWN, but I was number 76 of 120+ people who came out for the 10k walk.
It started at Gruene Hall and went mostly through residential areas – the parts of Gruene that most visitors don’t see. The neighborhoods I walked through were shady with lots of old trees, long stretches of country roads, and a few gradual hills. I crossed the bridge over the Guadalupe River twice and saw some tubers getting ready to float. The water looked cold and swift, but I guess the tubing season is kicking off.
It took me about 2 hours to finish the roughly 6.2 miles, then I treated myself to lunch at The Gristmill and had a salad and a refreshing sangria. It wouldn’t be a TOWN event if I didn’t eat, right?
Gruene started getting crowded around lunch time, so I left after lunch and gave a grateful person my parking spot. All in all, it was a wonderful way to start the day!
Cheers,
