Follow that arrow
Sometimes you have to take the road less traveled. You’ll run into things like this.
I’m at my brother-in-law’s house in North Carolina this weekend, so I ventured around Asheboro after I saw some arrows on the road. I followed the arrows for a bit and came across a couple of mile markers. Apparently they’re on the road for a race.
I’m glad I followed them, though. I was only going to run 3-4 miles, but it turned into 5.2 to get me past 20 miles for the week. It’s the second time in three weeks getting to 20 miles (last week was very close with 19.6 miles).
I’ve been pushing myself a bit lately with getting out of the normal everyday runs. I hope last week’s trail race, Thursday’s mountain run and today are just the start of good things to come over the next few months. It’s a lot of fun to do this, and having fun is what running needs to be about.

Nice!! Totally agree that running should be about having fun. I'm really struggling with getting back to that. Right now runs are not feeling that way at all. I'm happy when I go, but getting there is TOUGH for me. Hoping to get back to that really good place soon!!
And I LOVE what you'll find in folks' yards here in NC. The eastern part of the state really offers LOTS of that LOL
Another 20 mile week. I HATE YOU. (Just kidding)(Kinda)(Dammit)(I want good things too).
Fun to run in a new, unfamiliar place. For now I'll have to live vicariously through your running adventures.
I love your freewheeling runs! I am trying to be more adventurous but always gravitate toward the familiar.
The spontaneity is what keeps it fun. I'm trying to do more and more of it.
I'll remember this the next time I'm out jogging. I have found plenty of arrows on the road, but I've only just started jogging, so I hope I don't run into some vast chasm.
