I'd take the heat, even 100+ days over this weather I've been facing in the mid atlantic. Where are the best places to live and run in the south east - no further west of central Texas. I have a job and resources that will allow me to move to the north in the summer (but can't move in the winter) for a couple months if it gets really bad. What places have good running trails, where I won't have to run on concrete too much?
Atlanta has 2 great trail systems. The Chatahoochie and Kennesaw Mtn. The latter is a great place to do long run. The first place has apt. complexes nearby. Good airport to travel in and out of, and all the major sports are there if you are a profan, and of course College is king there.
you want trails, and I mean endless trails? Chattanooga is the place!!! Forget Atlanta unless you want to fight traffic everywhere you go. you can be on a trail here from downtown in 10 minutes and plenty to do in your free time..
Knoxville, Tn... super university town, great running scene, excellent local trails, friendly people. Tough to beat.
