When I went to Mexico, Ecuador, and Peru, I ran maybe once in Mexico but not in the other countries.

Running can be tricky when alone in a new place though. I remember when I had a work trip to Namibia I was hesitant to run for fear of getting lost and also safety (just not knowing if all areas were safe to run). I think had I been with a colleague who wanted to run I would have explored a lot more on the run.The Gaborone Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951125773361296619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-51718066205119989772020-06-10T04:13:41.907-05:002020-06-10T04:13:41.907-05:00I usually plan to run when I am away, either outsi...I usually plan to run when I am away, either outside if I am comfortable or in the hotel fitness center.

Running outside was not an option and we were working crazy hours. Fortunately, the hotel had a 24 hour gym. So there I was, plodding away on the treadmill at midnight to squeeze in at least a little bit of running for the day. Catrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05813581612058054899noreply@blogger.com
