Finding 14 miles of open road, away from the busier main streets, is not hard to do using mapmyrun.com. However, since my mind gets mushy not long into these runs, I have taken to jotting down some key landmarks and taping them to the back of my ipod in case I need a reminder as to where’ I’m going. This doesn’t always prevent me from getting lost (its happened twice), but it does help me estmate how I’m doing in terms of my pace… The challenge of today.. measuring things in “sevenths”.. just didn’t feel right trying to motivate my self by saying “yes.. You’re two sevenths of the way there!”… a good reason to hurry up and get to 16 miles.
