Today’s Run: \u00a012.25 miles<\/p>\n

Two of the most terrifying words you can hear on a very long run are
\n“Pavement Ends”. \u00a0We had a 12.25 mile run today with the running group and three miles into the run we encountered the dreaded sign, “Pavement Ends”. \u00a0Yikes! \u00a0I started dragging my feet. \u00a0Asphalt is my friend on long runs. \u00a0This sign meant gravel. \u00a0Gravel for the next six miles. \u00a0Oh no!!!<\/p>\n

We ran the “Chinese Restaurant Route” today. \u00a0I knew ahead of time about the gravel but being the eternal optimist that I am, I was hoping against hope that maybe they had paved this section of road since the last time we had run it. \u00a0Nope. \u00a0Rats.<\/p>\n

Why do they call this route the “Chinese Restaurant Route”? \u00a0Well, there is this\u00a0derelict building that it is rumored to be, sometime in the last 20 years, to have been a Chinese Restaurant. \u00a0Now, you have to understand that this is all\u00a0conjuncture.\u00a0I think it was someone’s old farm building that they let go and chose not to maintain. \u00a0Either way, the “Chinese Restaurant Route” it is and it has six miles of gravel and it does not look like they will be paving it anytime in the near future.<\/p>\n

It is a lovely route. \u00a0It goes through field and dairy land. \u00a0The\u00a0Honeysuckles were in bloom and the air was full of the sweet, heavy fragrance. \u00a0The sky was overcast. \u00a0This was good because it was in the 70’s F. and 95% humidity. \u00a0We were pretty warm. \u00a0But it was beautiful and we enjoyed ourselves. \u00a0We were also happy to be done!<\/p>\n
