Running on the flat land

Back in the day, I never used to like running the shore races because the terrain is completely flat. The lack of variation made my legs go into auto-pilot, and not in a good way. Now, I definitely like the monotony and calming effect of the flat land runs. As a matter of fact, I ran a pleasant 7 miles today without blinking. Anytime you do a long run or race, it seems to widen your horizon on what distance you can do comfortably. Earlier this year, I ran a long race in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. That was almost completely dead flat and I loved it. It was a point-to-point race, too, which are my favs. Anyway, keep getting out there and making it happen!
