Gsnail- Ya, I love that view. The sun reflecting off of civilization.
IAAP- I used to do a ton of workouts in a business park where we lived before, they would plow the park really well and the roads were always dry. I loved it! Everything was like a maze and I would blast some great music and do my hard sessions there. Plus, now looking back, it was pancake flat which I miss.
The dirt roads where you live/train are the best, nothing technical and you have complete control over the effort - to some degree anyway. I love the trails, but wish I had the dirt roads to run on out my front door. I've seen some documentaries on the Kenyan tribes showing them walking out of a 1 room 'hut" in the morning onto some dirt roads. What a perfect way to run and think about whatever you want to think about.
I completely agree. Dirt roads offer an opportunity to work pace, and climbing in my case. Too technical terrain limits this. But I have that close by also. I wish I had some flat terrain though.
