The pull
Here's what gets me out on my (somewhat) daily 4-miler: the scenery is both a distraction and a payoff.
Join me?
Fields of green and gold
Shady, winding roads (the better to think on, my dear)
Sunlight through the trees (and, oh!, the hill...huff, huff)
And then my favorite part: the scene opens up and the sky is wide
(reminds me of home)
What a vista. Chat with a woman in the field about a bird's egg she's found. Say hi to the horses.
Lean over, hands on knees. Breathe. Stand up, retrace steps, and head back home. (Downhill now!)
Splay on the grass for a few minutes' recovery and sport a red exertion face for the next hour.

Call me Lazy in Lexington!
It's a beautiful time of year. Good for you out walking, doesn't it feel great for the first few hours afterward? I see deer almost every day on my walk. Keep up the good work.
Ohh, this is a fun post. I can't wait to take pictures of my run-what a great idea. New England is so beautiful especially in your neck of the woods. Lovely!
Sadly, my neighborhood runs would not be nearly as picturesque as yours. Nothing but cookie cutter neighborhoods and strip malls. :-) I do want to play along though. Just how to lug the 40 pound camera along?
Love seeing a bit of your town again, though. Can't wait to do it live in a month!
Oh. I might have to do this! Your run is lovely.
So pretty, I want to run with you. I will have to do that this Saturday. My photos will be mostly construction though, unless I can avoid it.
Hmmm... I don't suppose the view from my treadmill would be too exciting...
Hi Annie
Loved joining you on a virtual run today. It's so beautiful there I really enjoyed your pictures. Thank you.
Here's a link to my walk in the bluebell woods. Want to join me?
