I don't know why'd they'd lock up the track, though. It's just a track, after all. I'm going to go back tomorrow; maybe it gets locked up around 2:00 or something, but is open earlier in the day. I'll have to check.

I have a great place to ruck, completely out in the sun with very rough terrain that goes uphill; it only goes for about one-half of a mile, but I figure I would just ruck it, then turn around, ruck back, then turn around, ruck back, etc....to count up miles. If I get desparate for running, I'll just use one of the really big fields and run circles around that.

Thanks for the advice though.

Here is an idea. Call the Track Administrator, Track Coach or Athletic Director and ask what the public use hours are for the track. Always remember stay out of the first three lanes, nothing pisses off the track team more than someone they view as just some "Pin Chi" jogger getting in their way while they do speed work.
