Baton Rouge as well.
Where do you run?
I run around the Stumberg/Sherwood Forest/Hickory Ridge area. We run around LSU lakes as often as possible.
Also, have run a few times lately at Highland Park.

Baton Rouge (actually Louisiana) can be somewhat challenging when running. No shoulders, no sidewalks, and crazy a$$ drivers. I get very frustrated at times with the lack of respect for anyone who decides to get a little exercise. I actually ran down the blvd. part of Sherwood Forest the other evening to avoid getting run over by cars hugging the shoulder, and people who seem to want to turn right over you.

It looks like some of us may see each other at the Half Mary, and possibly the Reindeer Run.
KyleMcm, I was in Lake Charles for 10 years and enjoyed running there. Also was a member of LakeAreaRunners.

Yes on the BR Beach 1/2 Mary. A friend and I are running the 1/2 and actually thinking about the Mardi Gras marathon as well.
I'll look for you at the race.

Jeffrey,
I've been on sabatical since the 1/2 mary.
Yes, it was a great day for running. I almost quit after the 1st mile. My calf locked up at the 1 mile marker and I had to stop. I was wondering how I was going to get back to the beach, since I could barely even walk. After coming to the conclusion that I couldn't quit, I walked for about a 1/2 to a mile and started hobbling. After a mile of that, it finally worked out and I was able to run. It was really weird because when I finished it locked up again and couldn't hardly walk again. I finished just over 2 hours, which I was very pleased with considering the circumstances. I bought cigarettes the next day and have taken the last month off from running. I walked tonight and plan on running again tomorrow. I am going to throw away the cigs and attempt to get ready for the Mardi Gras Mambo.
