running as exploration? what a novel concept...

i decided to shift away from the usual routes and try a new one today, through this fancy- pants neighborhood [yarrow point] in kirkland chocked full of some of the most gorgeous [and _expensive_] homes i've seen in the seattle area [including quite a few very impressive modern masterpieces] complete with some breath-taking views of lake washington [and killer hills].

it's really nice to shake off some of the structure of marathon training post race, to really milk a bit more enjoyment out of what running as exploration can provide.

I have had a lot of fun exploring the peninsula...especially because there are a lot of nice homes and trails in PV. The only downside with trailblazing is you're never sure if the trail you're on will dead-end. I've gotten myself into some hairy situations by trying routes I've never been on before...
