DMGRunning in Circles
There's an excellent post over at Rands in Repose about running in circles.
Six years ago, when I started running, my entire goal was to lose weight and get in shape. I was perfectly happy running the same two laps on the same sidewalk around the same two blocks of apartments.
Now, I don't like to run, hike or bike the same trail twice in a row. It just leeches my enthusiasm. My reasons for running have changed, and I want to see or feel something new on every run. And I never run laps.
