I am currently in Santiago, Chile for business. One of the challenging things about running while traveling is actually getting the run in. Another challenge can be figuring out where to run. I generally don't travel much but seem to be having more opportunites to do so lately. I like the challenge of running when my schedule really doesn't allow for it and there are seemingly a dozen good reasons to miss my runs.
Having said that, I missed yesterday's run after flying overnight then taking care of the logistics of arriving followed by afternoon and evening meetings. I wasn't about to be cheated out of today's run.
I ventured out from the hotel and just headed up the street the hotel was on. It appeared to be a major artery. Not knowing where I was going and not having a plan whatsoever, I just ran. The sidewalks were wide and clean. In fact, what I've seen of the city so far has been very clean.
I had decided to get 4 miles while exploring this morning. I cut off the main street down a side street. Not wanting to get too far away from the street that I knew, I did an out-and-back. I continued down the main street until it ended on something the looked like a freeway. From there, I turned back toward the hotel. Realizing I wasn't going to get the mileage I wanted I crossed the street planning to do another out-and-back. While on this segment, I discovered some sort of "green belt" that wasn't green at all. It did have a hard-packed trail though. I ran the several-block-long loop then headed back out of this residential area to the main street. Once back on the main street, I ran down past my hotel until I had the mileage I wanted then came back.
By the time I finished, the street were getting quite busy. People looked at me as I dodged around them. I'm not too certain how common it is to run on the city streets. I only saw one other runner while I was out.
