Oh The Places I Run!

I went on a nice little run this evening. It was a good time. I got in 5.5 – 6 miles in, not sure of the exact mileage. I felt good about it. I go many different routes on my different runs. This route is one of my longer ones, and I am excited to take you on my journey. Here is where I run:

I run alongside lots of cars

 

I run past playgrounds

(I hope the parents didn’t think I was some sort of freak taking random pictures of a playground whilst running by!)

I run by hospitals

I run in beautiful developments

I run past wildflowers

I run by man made ponds

Sometimes I run on the path

Sometimes I run off the beaten path

Sometimes I go off-roading all together on my running route

 

I run alongside parkways

I run in the ‘forest’

I run over bridges

I run past fountains

 

Sometimes I come to forks in the road and I have to make some ‘big’ decisions

I run past lakes

I apparently also take some blurry pictures while running

 

I run past a lot of water

 

There are long paths

And ones that come to a quick end

 

I run past ducks

I run by pools

I run by basketball courts

I run over more bridges

Apparently I ran too far and my Garmin died. Tear.

I run past here and every time I see at least 10 deer, obviously the one time I have my camera, there are no deer

Almost home! And there you have it folks. One of my many running routes. As previously mentioned, I don’t know exactly how far I went because my stupid Garmin died. I will review my new Garmin Forerunner 405 in detail later this week, but it was annoying that it lost power during the last mile of my run. Technology hates me.

It was really cool taking pictures on my run, while some people may have thought I was crazy, it was an awesome way to make the run go by faster. I was thinking the whole time about blogging about it, and before I knew it, the run was over. Definitely made the time fly by!

Where do you run?

I came home and made a green(/orange) monster. It included: carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper and an apple.

 

It was delish! Did I mention I heart my Amazing Grass juice cup?! Because I DO!

 

Sonny & Joe’s sent me a killer package with 7 different types of hummus! Seriously, that’s a lot of hummus! I can’t wait to try all the different types.

Tonight I busted out the Babaganough Eggplant spread for my post run snack/dinner. It was really good, and I was finishing off a good chunk of the container when I read the ingredients, and it contains mayo. Mayonnaise sometimes can freak me out, and I was kind of surprised to find it in my hummus. This ‘mayo phobia’ is a recent thing, not sure why. Either way the hummus was still good. I liked the mild eggplant flavoring a lot!
