about a mile into the runthe mile+ visibility is not always the most motivating
shade!! i had to document this rare occasion
i didn't scare any cows today, but look at this cute little baby cow
this puppy dog followed me for a bit but he was pretty nice
more shade!my favorite part of the run at about 3.5 miles
even hollywood lives in kentuckywell, has a home here anyway
some huge birds
our celebrity has a private 9-hole golf course
every half mile is tagged(i've heard there's a saturday group run out here)
turned around, time to head backanother view of the golf course
two miles to gosee the tree line waaayyy at the back?
yeah that's where this road turns to the right,
you get to stare at it for over a mile

Smelling the Roses. Nice.
ReplyDeletelove seeing where other bloggers run... looks peaceful compared to traffic and street lights. have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really nice place for a run!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures! That reminds me of the backroads in my TN home town! And the long stretches of road like that can be totally unmotivating, no matter how beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenerey! If it wasn't so dang hot and humid it would be a great place to run! Once or twice.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm still picking myself up off the floor after reading your comments to my blog yesterday. Classic line! You've made my day!
Hey Lindsay - thanks for the great pics! It looks like the end of some movie that I just can't remember and will bug me until I do! Grrrrrr! Looks like a lovely run. Not sure if you saw my Twitter, but I was just reading an old Runners World Australia (well, it's actually the latest, but they only come out bi-monthly so it feels OLD) and there was an article called "Train your brain" and you're quoted in it! If you haven't read it, let me know how I can get it to you!
ReplyDeleteAw, beautiful Kentucky country! I like seeing where other people run. It looks so peaceful and QUIET.
ReplyDeleteLooks very tranquil, though I can see how looking straight ahead can be a bit of a downer. Great pics, Ana-Maria
ReplyDeleteHey Lindsay - sorry for the double comment here. I'm getting caught up today.
ReplyDeleteJust read your comment about the calculations. I know what you mean. I use Sparkpeople becuase I know it works for me. Plus, I always underestimate my calorie burn through excercise and then overestimate portion size when logging to compensate.
Wow, that's gorgeous. But I can't even imagine how hot and sticky it must get out there--the shade is there but it's not exactly abundant. I'm glad that dog didn't give you any problems--running by/past dogs always freaks me out a little bit. I've been lunged at more times than I care to count!
ReplyDeleteGood looking road. It's a hell of a lot better than my route!
ReplyDeleteThose are great photos. What a beautiful area! I'd love to run down there if it wasn't too hot.
ReplyDeleteI need some flat courses to run on like those in your pictures.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really pretty area to run around. Wonder who lives in the big house?
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a long straight road! We don't have many like that over here... Is it like that the whole 9 miles?
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived out somewhere like that. It's too much traffic and too many people. It would be nice to run by cows.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos and an equally awesome run!!!
ReplyDeleteRunning in the "celebrity sticks." Nice. By the way, I too am addicted to M+M's. I can kill a bag in record time. Interesting dose of reality on my part...I'll be running in the NY City Marathon with you. How cool! We'll have to try to meet before the race. Yeah right...40,000 runners and we'll try to find one another!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE those pictures. I know the view of the horizon miles away might seem disheartening a bit while running on it, but I would kill to be able to run someplace like that, rather than past all the houses here. When I was out with my sister in Michigan, there was farmland close by like that, and I think it was the best part of my run.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I just love how green and serene it looks!
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, that's a couple of great runs you got in there--you are seriously amazing!
Hope you're having a happy weekend!
Looks like a very peaceful and scenic route. I wonder what celebrity's house that is.
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful out there :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your body's acclimatized (sp?) to the heat/humidity!
When you gettin yo Garmin, girl?
It really is pretty.
ReplyDeleteLovely scenery! I think this is a good idea. All of us bloggers should take a camera out with us and show some of the world we run through!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us with you on your run! I love seeing new places, one of many reasons I'm doing the 50 states thing. I agree with you about mile+ visibility. Some of the rural marathons I've done (KS, ID & MT) had some long stretches that seemed to go forever.
ReplyDeleteohhh love these pics! looks like an awesome place to run to me :)
ReplyDeleteWow, it is just beautiful out there! I love the white fences everywhere in Kentucky.
ReplyDeleteHave you thought about running the Flying Pig at all? It is the first weekend in May, and I'd really like to do the half there next year!
