"This is the thing I've learned, after a lot of couch time: There are always red flags. You need to look for those red flags along the way so you don't continue to make the same mistakes" - Michelle Pfeiffer
Project 365: #63
The weather was perfect yesterday morning, so I set out early. I never really plan my running route before I leave, but start planning it on the way. The route I decided on is very scenic, and the last stretch is through a restricted zone, so when I saw the red flag, I was disappointed.
This is a military zone, and basically, when the red flag is flying, you can't enter the zone as they are doing military-ops. The rest of the time, you enter at your own risk.
How awesome is it though, that you can still use this zone when it is safe to do so? When we first arrived here, I once became lost, and ended up in one of these areas. I was petrified, as I couldn't understand the entire sign, and thought I would be shot, or in huge trouble, at the least! It is really important to look for the red flags in our lives, and to take heed. It means proceed with caution, or turn around and go back. We all have them, we just need to heed their warnings.
