I guess the string of profanity I use while running the hills in my favorite route could almost count as a name--but I like your names better! Maybe if I try to think of some nicer names for my hills, they'll treat me a little nicer in return! :)Irish Creamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17548744329403082452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692377326046966823.post-14191848353498839652009-03-03T09:19:00.000-08:002009-03-03T09:19:00.000-08:00I don't usually bestow actual (goofy) names on por...I don't usually bestow actual (goofy) names on portions of my runs; rather, I associate landmarks, geographic or otherwise, with certain stretches. For example, there's a bit I call "the tunnel of trees" (it's my current blog banner) on a road in the Waterloo Rec Area near here. Then there's a certain corner on that's occupied by <A HREF="http://runningintothesun.blogspot.com/2008/04/what-runners-think-about-while-running.html" REL="nofollow">"Our Lady Of The Pond."</A> There's also <A HREF="http://runningintothesun.blogspot.com/2007/10/uh-oh.html" REL="nofollow">"The house of the dog that tried to bite me."</A> There's a bit of road I call "Scenic Overlook" because it provides a nice panoramic view of my town in the distance. There's "Bird pond corner," an intersection with a small pond where I've seen several really cool birds (green herons! OMG!). I did name one of my in-town loops "Fire Station Loop" because it went past the fire station, and there's "Water Treatment Plant Loop," which goes by the, well, you know. And of course there's my favorite, "The Cemetery," which I try to include in almost every run I do around town.Sun Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971351872301112088noreply@blogger.com
