One of the best purchases I’ve ever made was a GPS running watch. My Garmin 305 looks extra geeky — and I love it. Why? No, not because I look Dick Tracy. It’s because I have freedom to change my running route at a moment’s notice. No longer am I tied to a course. I can go right instead of left. Left instead of right. I can choose a hill or go another way. All that matters is the number of miles on the watch.
It’s bliss. Nirvana. A runner’s paradise.
If I had to run the same course everyday I would have burned out months ago.
Change is motivating. A little something I have figured out in so many other areas of my life, too.
