Guinea Pig Challenge: Warwick to Providence

April 18th, 2008 · No Comments ·

I went to Rhode Island yesterday with my friends. While they were at a recruiting event at Warwick, I mapped out a route to jog to Providence. I had never run over 10 miles continuously; I was scared and anxious. Of course, there’s always a reward after hard work. My friends and I went to a nice restaurant in Providence for an early dinner before coming back to New York. I took some pictures on the way to Providence. Please sit back and enjoy my journey.
