Are you ever "stuck in a rut?" I am, all the time. The problem is, I like the ruts I'm in. But sometimes it's a good thing to change things up, don't you think? So for today's run, I decided not to run in Farmville like I usually do. Instead, I stayed local and did my run on the Tobacco Heritage Trail.
It begins in South Boston and follows a path along the Dan River.
When you get to trail's end, you simply turn around. That gives you a total of 8 miles -- a perfect distance for an easy-medium run for most people.
Before my run I stopped by the Y for some stretching and a few easy lifts to get them old muscles going again.
Then it was off to the THT. Want to see what it's like running on this trail? Here ya go.
Let's face it. Some people can run the same distance over the same trail every day for the rest of their lives and never tire of it. I'm that way -- sort of. To keep running fresh and alive in your life, having a bit of variety is indispensable.
Anyway, that was today's run. I hope you enjoyed it.
