So the dangerous road run I went on last week with Will and Vince is 4 miles not 3.5.  Why am I always a half a mile off when I estimate distances?  Very curious.

I still felt a bit unsafe as Piper and I ran by the cemetery.  That road is pretty busy and there isn't much room.  I'm thinking running this route alone is best or going single file when we get to that road.

Smart thinking- be careful! One thing I do miss about Utah is WIDE shoulders. North carolina doesn't seem to believe in those!? I have found the most beautiful roads but they are so scary to run because there is no shoulder :(

Christi, Ohio does not believe in wide shoulders either! Your comment reminded me of a 10 mile run I did a few years back when I was visiting my parents in Ohio. The last few miles I ran a lot in the super sloped grass just next to the road. I developed some blisters that day.
