I live so close to the most wonderful running trail and have spent most of my time on that trail because it's beautiful, provides distance, and is close to home. When I run, I like silence (well, except for music). I don't like noisy cars and trucks and I hate the smell of exhaust.
Today, because I didn't have my running partner with me, I decided to stay on more public roads while the sun rose. I ran down to an older part of town and enjoyed looking at the old houses--some well-kempt and others not so much. There were some interesting new smells and sights, providing distraction from aching muscles or tired lungs.
I think I'll start trying more new routes. I enjoy running through neighborhoods and seeing the homes and people about.
When I leave this place and we end up wherever we end up, I will miss my old trail but I'm excited to discover new areas and new favorites.
Today I ran 10 miles...and enjoyed it.
