Running Through Rosemead

Los Angeles Skyline

When traveling for work I have found that it is more difficult to fit in my runs.  Whether it be the change in my daily schedule or simply that I am unfamiliar with the area, I always seem to talk myself out of it.  This weekend I was in Rosemead for 4 days and was determined to make an adjustment in my training and not skip my runs.  Unsure of the area and how safe it was, I mapped a 1 mile route around my hotel and although it was a little boring and repetitious, I pounded 4 miles on 2 different days.  In the future, I will continue to plan ahead to avoid skipping runs while traveling. As a side note: I don't think I have ever seen more trash on the side of the road as I did on these runs, pretty sad.
