We love Denver because we love running. What a great place to escape with a run! I am currently in Charleston, South Carolina for the week - a little Spring Break break. So what exactly have I discovered?

The south isn't set up for running.

First of all, it's hot. And, there are little trails or even trail setups for a good, long, hard run. But of course, I want to leave you with good news. Google Earth DOES know South Carolina, and does know how to recognize trails even among the rural highways of Goose Creek.

Owen and I ran a trail marked as a 4-miler, weaving through more traffic than we should for the population, but better, nice quiet trails that ask for a quiet footsteps. So, you ask, is the south unfriendly to running? I guess it depends. Austin, TX is south - but friendly to runners.

What you should remember about traveling, is that you shouldn't let messy drivers, pavement-filled runs and wild dogs get the best of you. Run even though the locals don't, and you really may start something. Or just get some funny looks, but whatever.
