If you talk with some runners about landmarks, you may hear that they seem never to notice any landmarks during their runs.
This may be okay with a portion of these runners, especially when they know that landmarks are meaningless or unhelpful to their running.
However, if you are among those runners who find landmarks to be helpful, then it can be worthwhile to enhance your ability to "tune in" to the presence of landmarks along the routes of your runs.
And one way to do this is to regularly activate the Law of Attraction in your favor by making a list of statements of gratitude for landmarks and then daily or weekly reading that list, pausing after reading each statement to dwell on the positive feelings that you associate with that statement.
