Where the streets have no name...

During a recent trip to Nova Scotia, I found myself running a couple of mornings in places I had never been before. As I ran along in sleepy towns, not knowing the street names, I soon realized that a great motivator for me is finding out what's around the corner.

As one wrong turn after another led to a dead end requiring a route "recalibration", the seconds kept ticking on my watch. Before too long, I had completed the required schedule for the day and I can remember thinking that the "out of town" experience was much more pleasant than the same old routes I had waddled down over the past several months.

I can confirm, that where running is concerned, variety is indeed the spice of life, and the anticipation of where my next Sunday run may take me has me looking forward to the future.
