A couple days ago, I decided to go through the pictures and videos that we took. Now, I really don't know how I dropped the ball on this one, because the MT video was already edited and ready to posted. What happened? Who knows!
Sorry about the poor framing. Apparently, I'm not very skilled at self-filming.
Unfortunately, for the leg of the trip from MN to WA, Liberty was crammed full. We didn't have a lot of extra space, so we tried to get to our WA destination ASAP. This meant not having a lot of time for me to do any long runs.
I found Riverfront Park on the map and figured it would work! Not being from MT, and not meaning any disrespect, I definitely would not recommend this park. It seemed a little white trashy. Not very clean.
And clearly not a runner's park.
From the map, it looks like it would be, but I got my fair share of weird looks. Plus, toward the end of the run, a couple teenage girls audibly made fun of me for running. Now, since it's three months past, I can't remember the exact details of their conversation. I definitely do remember trying to pick up my pace a bit to get by them quicker.
Still, I did see some beautiful scenery. And check out the elevation!
Although it was super flat, it was also super HOT outside. This 12-min run was much tougher than you might have guessed.
Have you ever run in Riverfront Park in Billings?

Why would someone look weirdly at a runner in a park? Isn't that what you are supposed to do there? That's too bad:( Glad you hadn't planned a long run there:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a weird experience! No one blinks an eye at runners around here, no matter where they are!
