Like
many athletes, I have a few quirky habits that appear during my runs. For example, I always cross in the middle of the crosswalk, I make sure that my
feet touch the white and not the actual curb, and I absolutely have
to finish at the same spot each time.
When I do finish, I take my last step onto an electrical box in the
ground. There are also a few other special
squares that I have to touch completely during
the run.
During my short
run, when I reach the turn-around spot, I must go around the sign post. On the longer run when I am going to turn
around, I need to cross over a certain color sidewalk marking. These habits are nothing new.
In fact, I remember when I first started running that I had to touch
a certain square at the intersection before continuing.
By sticking
to these routines I
know I am not taking any short cuts. At the end of my run, I feel an awesome sense of accomplishment.
What kind of
quirks do you have when you go out to run?
