  Half of this run was crappy. I got the idea from the med school website to go up the Hartford Turnpike (that was the nice part! ) and come down State St. which is a horrible place to run. It's miles and miles of flat highway (albeit unpopulated by cars) on either side of which are all these exceedingly boring run-down buildings, all of them with a half-abandoned look.
It is a no man's land. I even ran past a burnt car that looked, from all evidence, to have been set on fire . I have to wonder why, and I'm scared to think that it was just for kicks. Like, Hey, dead car, let's burn it. I dunno, I just had a bad feeling about the area. I am not going back. On a positive note, I found East Rock park and ran along it for a bit. Next time I'm actually going in to the park! Oh yeah, so I'm going to be sore tomorrow. :-) Stats 9 miles (estimate) 95 minutes
