When you put in lots of miles, it's easy to get into a rut and do the same old workouts and the same old courses. I've found that it's important to balance this with some 'exploring'.
Today I got close to work a bit early so I decided to tack a few more miles at Valley Forge Park - it was a really nice road with signs labelling it the 'encampment tour'. At that hour in the morning, it was still cool and fresh, with the sun creeping through the trees. Deer and rabbits everywhere. Very hilly making it hard (on the up hill) and lots of fun (on the downhill).
On the way home today, I stopped by a different YMCA and swam in their outdoor 50m pool. I had to pay a small visitor fee, but it was a good change of pace.
Anyway - it's important to do this in all things, not just training, otherwise life becomes dull and unexciting.
