Sylvan Park
My weekly running started Tuesday this week..however I must admit that I run a route in Sylvan Park that is an armpit. It doesn't help my attitude that it rained the whole time. That neighborhood looks bad enough (think blue collar) but with it raining and gray out only makes it look that much worse. Plus the drainage really sucks. Think I was running in ankle deep water the whole freaking time..on the roads. Anyway, just reminds me how much that area sucks. Although I do like the PRODUCE PLACE NATURAL MARKET that's there. Now that my rant is over, today I had a beautiful run (cross-country course) sunny out, trails were nice and soft...just a totally different experience. Looking forward to the week as it will make it one week closer to the 50K and I'm getting stroked about it.

That is a fairly sad and elitist statement about Sylvan Park. Is there something wrong with "blue collar"? There are many nice homes in Sylvan Park and most of them look just like the ones on the other side of the tracks like in Hillsboro Village. The drainage sucks because of nature. Leaves and debris clog the drains and they overflow. If we had more "blue collar" jobs like drain cleaners in the Public Works Dept and fewer Personal Trainers, Nashville would be a better place to live. It sounds like you need to stay on the TREADMILL or Indoor Track.
Thanks for you comment concerning my view on the neighborhood "Sylvan Park" here in Nashville. I certainly do not think there is anything wrong with "blue collar" I have performed that type of work myself and feel it's very much needed and rewarding. The people who live there now may not be considered blue collar. You are probably right about too many personal trainers!
JP, that's harsh that you're ripping on my hood dude!
I run in there 4-5 times a week and I love it. Sure, I can run down BM Blvd or around Vandy but those are NOT my people. Guys with sleeves of tattoos get looked at funny in those uppity areas. In SP, I'm looked at by friendly neighbors!
Sylvan Park OWNZ!
