I always research unsafe areas for tourists when traveling to a new city, so when I run with my phone map I have a general idea of where I should avoid. Otherwise, I just turn down random streets, though populated and well lit ones. As to large crowds, I have only had this issue occasionally: just be ready to walk and don't be a nuisance to others. If it's a rural area, I mostly worry about surprise hills, not safety.

If it's a foreign country I am especially cautious as running is not really a hobby in many places. I wanted to go for a run by myself in Guatemala, but eventually decided that i wouldn't outside of very touristy areas or very rural areas. I had a great time running alone in downtown Montreal with minimal research. It depends on the country, so pay attention to local cultural norms and dress codes.

A good playlist and somewhere interesting to explore make it great, but I also just love running. I bring running shoes when I travel: there's nothing like running through a new city as a tourist.

A cape with a snack pouch! Sounds like an accessory for a skirt without pockets.

My neighbors come in two main flavors: they're all either devoutly religious or think the moon is hollow. I'm just a regular atheist, guys, stop freaking out about fake shit!

Running. I don't think I ran a consecutive mile until at least age 28, but now i love to run.

My city's most common tagging these days might be "dadbob". I see it everywhere.

I watched two twelve-year-old children take a four-hour reading exam today. They ran out of time without finishing. Please can North Carolina to get their metrics some other way.

My current theory is that the state of NC so wants to say that public schools are failing that they are giving students near impossible exams.

I love Canada geese! A family used to nest every year near where i grew up, and during breeding season traffic would halt multiple times a day while the whole family of goslings crossed the road. When in a rush in the spring, everyone knew not to take that road.

I think they are the bane of golfers and sports areas, but if that's not a concern they are huge, beautiful birds.

Don't forget the wild cockatoos! Those are a sight. (Source: my ex-step-sister lives in Melbourne.)

Oh no, ask and ye shall receive, I guess -- the very next night I remembered a series of dreams about Bluey for no reason at all. I've never even seen Bluey.

Still, it was fun to remember the dreams. I suspect smoking weed to fall asleep makes me less likely to remember dreams?
