I remember one spring weekend Shannan and I visited Columbus, GA. On the Saturday morning I enjoyed a nice long run. During the course I realized I could press a little farther and cross the state line into Phoenix City, AL. Prior to that I had a five mile route in Clayton County which passed through the official city limits of Forest Park, Lake City and Morrow. Needless to say, I was thrilled to complete the multistate run.
Imagine my excitement the summer we went to Four Corners. I suited up and ran around the monument and the little market village for a half an hour. Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona all at once, incredible!
Ah, but the greatest highlight will soon be in my reach, or so I hope. Next week we take off for Istanbul, Turkey. Many of you may be thinking: So what? Here’s what. I get to run in a new country, no big deal. For those not so geographically versed, Istanbul has the distinction of being a city that straddles two (2) continents. I’ve run in Europe and Asia before, but not in one outing. This will be a geek runner’s dream. I’ll share all the grandeur of it in a week or thereabouts.
Travel and run!
