If all else fails …

I wasn’t having a good run this morning. No real reason why — it just wasn’t happening. Fortunately I was planning for only 12 miles or so. It’s kind of nice to say “only” with that many miles. It’s still a long run, but compared to 16 last week and 18 next week, 12 is short.
So since things weren’t going all that well, I decided to make the route as crazy looking as I could on a map. In a small town like Bedford, anything over 10 miles looks crazy anyway, but it makes runs like today feel a little more rewarding.

And, as a friendly reminder to myself, the Richmond Marathon is 9 weeks from today!

    Looks good & crazy! I like doing that too, but worry that it will confuse my Garmin, hahah. And yep, you know you're a runner when you can say "Only 12 miles"
