Scenes from a reset run...

 A reset run is a run that restores your equilibrium, or balance, or just helps you “shake it off.” I learned about this concept from Kristin Armstrong's book Mile Markers, which I love.

I needed a reset run because: 

-no Christina (!!!) 

-no Janel (who will help me go fast?!)

-no calm, quiet, no traffic roads like Clarks Cove...sigh...

-no Maine salt water views

But I finally ran. Almost 4 miles. That’s twice around the “big block,” as Charlie called it (meaning 2 blocks really) and once to Fenton place and back. It was not quiet, or calm but I did it. Actually, it’s not really that bad, it’s just different. Our house is on a pretty laid back street and the blocks that I ran around are made up of nicely landscaped office buildings (lots of flowers!) A small section of the run is on Friars Road, which goes to Qualcomm Stadium, home of the Chargers! (We are so close to the stadium the other day I thought a plane was crashing into the house because it was so low, and loud! Charlie said it was just a game time fly by…)

Anyway… my reset run did the trick. I cleared my head and will get back out there tomorrow. I just needed a push. Christina called me just as I was sitting down to post-stretch…perfect timing my friend.

Here are some scenes from my run:

This is our street, River Run Drive.

Bougainvillea helps make retaining walls pretty. Also the little plant underneath I love and have some growing on the patio.

So beautiful with a fragrance to match! Ahhh...

These are fun!

Bolt up!

Thank you for the shade palm trees.

This is how you get "flocked" if you're staying at the Marriot. Ha ha.
