After complaining about the smelly and generally unpleasant Kingstown Shopping center in my first post I was feeling guilty about being so negative. This means so today I must take a moment to point out some of the greener paths and trails near my new home...
 |
| First is the trail that runs alongside Van Dorn right before it meets telegraph. It starts off just behind the BP and cuts through the woods which is a nice shady alternative to the intense sun that beats down on the Van Dorn sidewalk. |
 |
| There is however this blind corner, where I narrowly avoided a collision with another runner a week ago. |
 |
| Soon after Van Dorn is this trail along Old Telegraph Rd. |
 |
It's beautiful and shady, but there is tons of poison ivy. Eek!
|
 |
| Last, one of the reasons why I really do like Kingstown - they take good care of the trails around the residential areas like this one here. It's a steep climb up this hill, but the view makes up for it. |
These were all taken on Friday so first Friday's stats:
And Saturday's:
That marks the end of my first week of scheduled training, and I'm happy to say it was a successful week. On Saturday I hit the 300 mile mark for this year, and I managed to stick to the schedule (and actually ran an extra mile on Saturday by accident!)
