2023.12.20 - Road Trip Running

During road trips it’s nice to get out of the car, stretch, and run somewhere fun and new, then climb back in the car rejuvenated and get back to it. Start by asking Siri or Alexa for directions, then check the map over to see what parks or places along the way look like good spots to break up the drive and add some adventure. For example, on a recent Chicago trip, we stopped to run some great trails at Ft. Custer in Battle Creek, perfectly breaking the drive in half! Another recent trip heading home from Philly, we decided to check out the iconic Lincoln Highway, and a remote Pennsylvania State Park with a 5 mile loop trail around a mountain lake. Just a couple miles after the stop we came across, first the debris field, then the National Monument in remembrance of the heroic actions from 9/11’s flight 93. This was not on our radar at all, and without choosing this run, we would have missed this incredible tribute.

Keep running, keep exploring,

Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner, who seems to change clothes more in my car than in my house!
