I haven't done a solo run in a while and I forgot how much I enjoyed it! Don't get me wrong, I love my running buddies. But there is something completely empowering about running through the woods or through a field all by yourself with nothing but your little ole' legs to get you home. It is simply a feeling that I cannot get doing anything else!
It's the ultimate "me" time. I can belt out my playlist at the top of my voice or bust a dance move if the mood strikes me...with no witnesses to my craziness. Not that my running buddies would mind (I'm pretty sure they've seen or heard it a time or two and haven't left me yet...and there is something to be said for that!) but it's different on your own. I don't know, it's freeing.
I will definitely carve a couple more solo runs into my calendar this year...but until then I look forward to tomorrow's run with my girl, Bri. We are checking out a new trail and I'm super-excited!
Here are some more pics of today's trail:

| The only negative to this route is two little intersections I have to go through. (I either love the break for traffic so I can catch my breath or I hate it that it messes up my time!) |
Gah, I love running!
