Running in circles.....

We are creatures of habit. I know I tend to run the same paths and routes and try to find new journeys to take on the road to prevent boredom while keeping safe and challenging myself.

This morning, I was scheduled to run 13km (8miles). I normally run the route in a single direction.... and while I am running mindfully, I am able to 'check out' mentally for the duration. Today, seeking a new challenge, I ran the route in the opposite direction. My starting point was my normal finish. And wow... the run was mentally challenging. It was like I had never run the route before.

Sometimes, we need to look far for a challenge and sometimes, we just need to make a single change for that challenge to occur.

Keep up the run and I will see you on the road.
