I put in some miles with Graddy this afternoon once he got done with his big medical school exam on the heart. He was hoping to put in about 20 miles on the day, but I would not be joining him for the duration. Tarpy unfortunately couldn't make it over for the outing as the same blond/female/Olympian mentioned in that post was having an epic shopping spree.

Graddy and I ran one of the standard loops we used to do while running for Brown. "Seekonk" takes you from the campus, across the border and into Massachusetts where our former coach John Gregorek lives. The loop doesn't go past his house or anything but it's still cool to have runs that cross borders. I was thinking while on this run about how crappy some of our loops were. As a team we ran a lot along the Blackstone Blvd which meant that nobody wanted to run there if we had the opportunity to go elsewhere. The Seekonk loop has large portions next to busy streets and crowded intersections. It was never a concern running these routes when there were 20 guys around, but running them solo or with a small group is questionable.

I felt a little sore during the run but nothing out of the ordinary. Tonight I'm going to Craigga's for dinner.
