I have my running routine that I love. I have several routes to choose from at different distances and my routes give me comfort and security in the early morning.

When we are traveling, everything is new and different and I love the change from my familiar habits.   Running in a new city (New York City is my all time favorite), suburbs or rural areas are exciting and the sense of adventure and getting lost is wonderful.

These pictures are from a run in Ashville, NC.  It was our first visit to this area and we camped near the French Broad Riverway Trail.  What a great time to reflect on all my blessings in life as I ran on this beautiful trail and discovered new areas.
