Last Sunday I ran 5 MILES. I told ya I would. And I did. I really did. I'd like to thank Catie for posting that she ran 8 miles the other day. I realize I ran 5 miles out of jealousy (last time I checked I was only one mile behind Catie in training - when did she start running more mileage?!) - which shouldn't be a motivator - but hey, I'm taking whatever works here.
I tried my hardest to find a different route than my usual Vanderbilt loop, just for a change of scenery. I wanted to run around the Belmont/12South area, but after driving the route I found it wayyyyy too hilly. Nashville needs to relax with the hills - seriously. But I couldn't find any alternative route that I felt comfortable with, so I just expanded my four mile route (below) to include one extra mile. Despite getting a bit bored with the scene, this is a great route - sidewalks the whole way, safe, relatively flat with one big hill at the end. It's perfect.
I've had a terrible cold for the past week and I haven't run at all since my triumphant Sunday. But I feel much better today and I plan on getting back out there on Saturday. Still avoiding treadmills at all costs.
