But I try to avoid streets like Cleveland where I’d have to run on the sidewalk if I’m running faster. Not a fan of concrete at high speed. I did a good 2 mile tempo up Portland and down Ashland between Cleveland and Snelling today, that was pretty good. Give Mt Curve a go, it’s nice. Woodlawn also parallel to the river, and fairly quiet. Today I also discovered Finn, which from Randolph to Grand was a nice flat tempo mile, just had to pause once at St Clair to cross the road. Lots of dog walkers tho’, obviously a popular walking street!

I hadn't thought of Mt Curve - that could be something to try. And I'm very familiar with the other 3 as I lived on Ashland 2 times (from 99-00 and from 02-07). My only complaint going that way is getting stopped at "bigger" Snelling, and then having to get to Grand or Selby to cross Ayd Mill (as Summit's closed). I think that's why I don't head that way often.Steve Stenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11419298404210612118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677084.post-7632361358197059302020-08-02T13:17:22.678-05:002020-08-02T13:17:22.678-05:00Just a humble visitor from Minneapolis, but if you...Just a humble visitor from Minneapolis, but if you’re looking for some nice alternatives that are quiet enough to run on the street Davern is a good north/south street. Mt Curve also pretty good parallel to Mississippi Blvd. East/West I’m partial to Laurel, Portland and Ashland which will basically take you all the way from the river to Western. Quiet enough to run on the asphalt road. Evan Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11535512581510397532noreply@blogger.com
