There's just something about running on the streets of Newport in the dark that will cause you to kick up your pace a bit. We didn't do the route to Eden Park/Observatory today. Woo hoo! We took a route through downtown, over the Clay Bailey Bridge, and over to Newport and back. I don't panic on bridges typically, but something about running over one next to a moving train just creates a little uneasiness in a gal.
10 miles in 2:03, which included 3 water stops and 1 unsuccessful bathroom stop at the Shell station on 4th street in Newport (I do not really believe the bathroom was "closed" either!), followed by 1 successful bathroom stop courtesy of the Goodyear Tire Store in Newport. At about mile 5 my newest add to my playlist came on: Return of the Mack. If that song doesn't make you wanna move your hips...brother, you need a pulse check. It will put some groove in your step.
I'm one of those people that say "good morning" to every person I run past. What is up w/ some people around here? Runners have unspoken code that it's just something you do - it's like a brotherhood, like bikers. But the general public out walking to work or trying to find their car from the night before, generally don't expect people to say anything to them. I am here to prove this wrong. Morning!
