4.6 Mile Route

Today my run went very well, I think I do better running in a circle instead of going a distance stopping and turning around.

I started at my house, ran to Ridge Ave and Roxborough Ave (2.5 miles), down Ridge Ave, along Kelly Dr to Midvale Ave (2.1 miles/4.6 miles), and at that point I stopped because I hate running up big hills, so I walked up Midvale Ave (1.0 mile/5.6 miles) and started running again at Fox St and Midvale Ave, I finished by running to Morris St and Coulter (0.6 mile/6.2 miles)

All and all I ran 4.6 miles and I walked/ran 6.2 miles, which is really great because I haven't really ran more than 3 miles lately.

October 19th is the Day!

"The body does not want you to do this. As you run, it tells you to stop but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy…It is not age; it is not diet. It is the will to succeed."
-Jacqueline Gareau, 1980 Boston Marathon Champ
