There'...At least you'll never get lost ;) <br /><br />There's something to be said for having *your* route(s) that you love! But, after reading one interview with Dean Karnazez a while ago (He said he always tries to run somewhere New, to keep his crazy 30-100 mi runs interesting) - I've rarely run the Exact same route twice. Even if it means a totally random 0.1 mile offshoot, I try to always switch things up. 1) it keeps things interesting! 2) It helps me explore my neighborhood/new city :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37373654.post-48926287957439564862010-11-19T17:41:17.284-05:002010-11-19T17:41:17.284-05:00I like familiar routes especially when adding/remo...I like familiar routes especially when adding/removing a few kms.
