Just a general thread about running. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

My neighbor mentioned he likes to run, so I volunteered to join him. I need the motivation. But it turns out he prefers to drive to a nice destination and start from there? That seems like way too much work for me. Ever heard of someone doing that?

Yes I've heard of many people doing it like that. I don't get it, it completely nullifies the point of running being quick and easily accessible IMO. If you're pro or semi-pro and training for an event type that your local area doesn't provide the optimal training conditions for, it makes sense. But for the other 99% of us that are just recreational runners, it just seems silly.
