Veale up E116th to Buckeye to Moreland to Livingston to Abell to E140th to Kinsman to Chelton to Scottsdale to Lynnfield to Parkland back (with Mitchell, with Steve, Aaron Lin, and Nick Hewitt until 2 miles)-

Coach Lanese wants me to do a tempo so I decided to just go for a run today and save it for tomorrow. Mitchell wanted to go to the abandoned St. Luke's Medical Center so we headed up 116th to start. The others turned around on Buckeye thankfully all at the same time as the thought of a lost Aaron retracing his steps through the ghetto alone is kind of scary. E140th started to get bad near Kinsman and the apartment buildings we ran past were mostly empty and boarded up. It was one of the worst Cleveland streets I've ever been down. I can understand how someone could have 13 bodies in their backyard without anyone noticing in that neighborhood. We went slow and I felt pretty good.
