i'll be staying in Louisiana from the 20th to the 29th of this month
we'll be staying w/ family and i haven't been there in four years
last time i went i ran maybe twice the entire time i was there (just laziness/being in high school)
i've run in places like western Pennsylvania and have gotten the impression that people are like, "what the hell is he doing?"
so the up coming weeks i plan on running a lot, the week i'll be in Louisiana i'll probably be getting 100 miles to prepare for my upcoming indoor season
now i'm worried that i'll receive a lot of flack from the local community, should i stick to the better neighborhoods or what? there is an EXTREMELY large wildlife management area near my grandmothers house with trails and dirt roads, but that is clearly out of the question because of hunters
i'll be doing fartleks and tempos, hopefully i don't need to do anything on the track, because the high school is located directly next to a papermill, spewing sulfurous smoke
soooo............ does anyone have similar vacation running experiences, or live in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, etc
