I've travelled a lot in the past (for work), and I wish I had started running earlier. I've missed out on some nice places to run in, but I'm making up for it now and making every opportunity count!Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15436424232430968215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17908166.post-1149701703074918092006-06-07T10:35:00.000-07:002006-06-07T10:35:00.000-07:00Its an awesome world to see isn't it.
