Twice this week I have gone out with the intention of going 5-6 miles on trails and gone 8+ instead. I am pretty messed up.
Today it was on purpose. I wanted to explore and so I added on a 3 mi loop to the 5 mile loop I was already doing. It wasn't anything crazy special, but good to have more options.
Lol. I lack the discipline to do fewer miles. If I didn't feel good than I wouldn't have added on. I am not ruining my training with 2 weeks of tapering and a 55k race like some people I know.
BTW, 50% of what I write on your blog is encouraging, but 100% of what you write on my wall is smack. I think that shows just how scared you are.
what's good about me ruining my training...said by you is that even if you do beat me in cape cod, i will have a pretty sweet excuse now!
i'll say something encouraging to you if you can't deal with my psychological mind games...i'm almost positive you will beat me at cape cod. see, it's not so much fun anymore if i simply concede defeat :)
First of all, you guys are funny. I filtered the bloggers to RI once because I travel there twice a year. I wanted to see if there were any bloggers out there. That's how I landed on you two. I've been reading your blogs ever since. Hugely entertaining to those of us this little ol Utah demographic. Anyway, I'll be in Newport/Providence in late July/Aug and would love to know where to run 12-17 in Providence. I see you guys do trails mostly-- but I just need some road (hopefully a pretty one). I've got Newport running covered-- I just don't know P. that well. Any suggestions?
If you want roads and up to 17 miles I would say do the east bay bike path. Here is a map http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-states/ri/providence/666817663351
I also really like all of the roads in the northern part of the east side- blackstone blvd (has a dirt path running through the median), elmgrove, taber, arlington. But it might be hard to put together a long run in that area. Downtown is almost completely worthless for running. You could run every street downtown and only get around 4-5 miles.
I just looked at where that is and if it's a good path (not too many bikers?) it looks perfect. It seems to be close to water-- bonus to see the ocean. I love the ocean drive/cliff walk in Newport. Thanks again. Looking forward to all that humidity (not).
