So, the other day I was trying to figure out what run I should go on-- I could do a 10 mile run on the Robert Frost trails or do a pretty road run around some farms on Leonard's eggs-- and then I thought, eh, I'll just start running around some smaller trails which connect to one another-- like Misty to the KC trail.  I didn't want to have a structured run-- I more just wanted to just do some randomly quilted trails.  I realized that I often decide what runs I want to go on based on my mood.  I don't really know what moods make me go on certain runs, but definitely, there is a definitive mood I need to be in to go on one distinctive run over another.  Running at Amherst certainly caters to my running indecision, but in a very good way.   I had this discussion with other girls on the team and they definitely agree that the infinite trails and road runs that are available at Amherst make running here just that much more enjoyable.  The routine of classes and coursework on top of a scheduled commitment to a sports team and other activities can sometimes lead to a monotony in which you feel like you are just going through the motions.  The variety of running we do at Amherst pleasantly offsets, rather than contributes to this routine.  Every run is a break from the sometimes monotonous routine of college life.  I never walk to the gym and go, "Great, I guess I'll go on run X for yet the tenth time this season." Rather, every run is different and never gets old.  After all, how can you compare the Emily Dickinson trail to Robert Frost-- I think they would be insulted.
