This weekend I was at my sometimes boyfriend’s place. He lives in the middle of nowhere so I generally go to the local HS track if I have a run scheduled. I don’t love track running for general runs, but I do like them for interval training.

Anyway since I had my Garmin and it was a delightful day on Saturday I decided to run the backroads. It was weird to run on asphalt. Most of my running is on sidewalks, but I ran facing traffic and only saw about 6 cars who veered away from me – although I was prepared to dive off the side of the road if need be. 

Near where he lives is a BEAUTIFUL Vineyard (picture from my visit there in May) so I ran there and back. It was very peaceful and green. The smell of nature was quite lovely. A stellar way to spent 3.2 miles, I plan to make that a regular thing.
