Bring back the visuals
6-mile run from this past Friday morning.
A couple of years ago I got really obsessed with looking at my routes on Garmin’s site. It was part of how I figured out where to add miles, and to see what other streets I was missing.
I also enjoyed posting many of those routes, especially the longer ones, here on the blog. Now that I go back and look at old posts, and examine my tone behind some of those posts, I think it’s time I start showing off my routes again.
I don’t want to do this in an obsessive way. Just a couple of times a month as a way to gain some confidence and as a way to get back to what used to be a fun thing for me to do.
I also have to stress the importance of doing this for ME and not what other people think about my non-linear routes. A couple of years from now I may be looking back at this very post trying to figure something out, and I’ll be glad it’s here.

I have to add short loops and detours to get in a long run from my house. There are neighborhoods I just won’t run through. For some reason, I always do a loop from my house instead of an out-and-back, which makes it harder to plan out more than 8 miles.
