Back in the day, my runs were just me and the road...

I used to lace up and go without telling a soul... just for the quiet. Now everyone posts their routes and times online. It feels different, like we're not just running for ourselves anymore. Sometimes I miss that solitude, but seeing others cheer me on keeps me going...

My watch beeps if my heart rate drops below the "impressive" zone. Guess the run didn't happen unless my phone says so.

Yeah the whole "posting routes and times" thing. I mean now if you don't upload your heart rate zones did you even really go? It's like the run doesn't count until it gets a few likes. I miss when the only person I was racing was me trying to beat my own time from Tuesday, not some guy I went to high school with.
