I have a couple of laps around my home town mapped out for training, a 4 mile loop and a 2 mile extension to take my lap out to 6 miles. They work great in the morning. But not so in the evening. They go straight past the towns best steak house. Its darned difficult to concentrate on running when the smell of a nice juicy t-bone is wafting under your nose

I once counted 4 doughnut shops, 2 pancake houses and 4 mexican food restaurants as well as a Krispy Kreme dougnut shop (at mile 5) of my 6 mile run route. Talk about hard to keep my focus. I make sure I eat before I run!

Yeah, but think about the people inside those places, with their clogged arteries, high blood pressure, and other health problems. The Dairy Queen on my way to the local HS track is motivational: I run FASTER just to get away from it!

this is why i won't do the grand old day run again, ian - i was running past cheese curd stands, bbq pits, the summit tent. aaah! actually, the smell made my stomach turn because i was dying on the run and the last thing i wanted was to eat or drink...but i can still relate on some level!

check out the group training threads! i think we minnesotans should do a group run or bike or something.

Tell me about it....when I step out my front door for an early morning ride or run I smell 2 bakeries, a coffee shop and (get this) an Italian restaurant cooking something called "henny penny chicken". All the Italian places around here sell it, I have no idea what it is but they cook it EARLY....
