Internet...finally.
We have internet finally at our house which means that I will be more up-to-date, for the next couple of days.
It’s kind of funny that as soon as I get the internet – I will be away working at a camp for five days. I will have my laptop and my phone (which serves as a modem) so I may be able to get online for a little bit.
This upcoming week will be crazy full of activity. If you have never been to camp or ever worked at a camp – let me tell you that you are always active when there. The afternoons are my favorite time because we get to go out and just play sports.
It’s going to be so hot. :)
Tips for Running in new places.
After we got all moved in – I got to go for some nice runs. It’s always neat to run in new places. Everything is new to you and makes for quality runs. While they are quality runs – running only makes sense when you are able to have fun and enjoy the runs.
I made a mental list while running of things that you should do when you decide to run in a new place.
1. Become familiar with the area. Just because you are new doesn’t mean to know nothing about the place.
2. Know your route. I’ve talked about it before here about mapping your route before you run. This way you will not be caught off guard with longer distances and times.
3. Wear an identity of some kind so that you will be known. In the event that you may need an identity card – you’ll have it and others can find it.
4. Wave and acknowledge the people that you pass and see. While this may have some benefits as for safety purposes – this is just being nice and friendly.
5. Wear reflective bits and pieces. This is general knowledge. If you think about it – you may be running in an area that doesn’t get a lot of runners and people aren’t watching for them. Running safe is smart running.
6. Don’t run at night. While running at night may be something you do in the comfortable environment of home and community – it is not a good idea to run at night in a new area, environment, and route.
7. Have fun.
Enjoy yourselves and remind yourself that what you are doing now -- is helping your future!
