Intimacy with the city

First and foremost, don't misinterpret the title. Hehehe. Running has sure changed the way I keep myself fit, and it also opened my eyes to everything that makes our city streets alive. Things you don't get to see when you are inside your car or taking a jeepney ride to your office or home. Little things that might be disgusting, amazing, or things that will leave you shaking your head because you thought differently.
I never had the chance to see the city and her streets this way, in a very intimate way, until now.
Running early mornings sure does a lot of things to the way you see the city.
This is the very reason why I find running interesting. To keep it that way, I change my routes every now and then. In this way, I keep everything fresh, and there is no dull moment every time I hit the asphalt...til next time.
