who needs cul-de-sacs anyway?!?

everyone knows that the fastest way to get to point A to point B is a straight line...

wellll, the developers of our subdivision OBVIOUSLY did not have "runners" in mind. we have more cul-de-sacs in our subdivision than i can even count....{for dramatic effect, here's a section of our 'hood below}

yeah, okay, i thought they were great when we were deciding on buying the house...but, back then, i wasn't running. honestly, i don't even really notice them until i'm at the end of a run....just dying to get it over with finish + make it home. when i turn down my street + get excited that i'm on the last stretch, i still have THREE cul-de-sacs to "round" before i collapse make it to my driveway. suuuuure, i could just not run the fuuuuuull circle of the cul-de-sac, but after it's all said + done, i'd probably feel guilty.

ugh.
