Any Runners going to Convention??

<p>Hi all:<br><br>Just curious...are any runners going to the convention? If so...would like to hook up and go for a run or two (any distance between 3 and 15 miles)...will bethere Mon 28th - Thurs Oct...come on Mark, I know you are a closet runner...besides being an out of the closet golfer!!! LMK, anyone!! Thanks.<br><br>Fred Von Canon</p>

Well in the area the convention is in you better be a fast runner. Around LAX isn,t what i,d call luxurious or beautiful in any imagination. Plus when i wentlast year in my rental car to make a beer run and cigs at night i got out and in as fast as i could. And not use to seeing homeless sleeping under bus stopbenches with their grocery carts full of what they have collected. Just to let you know what the nieghboring part is like. I,m not sure where your from butOklahoma here .............my 2 cents

Hey Fred:<br><br>Trust me!!! You will get all the Exercise you need<br>just going room to room. Just use the stairs and not<br>the elevator!!! LOL<br><br>Tim<br><br>"Redlines are like being in the MOB you never get out"<br><br>.

Never been there, but when I visualize running in LA, it generally involves seeing someone with stolen property being chased by the police.<br>I know ........ I need to go there and see for myself before I make such comments. Wish I could!<br>Have fun at the covention all! Wish I could be there too!

Thanks for the info...you can probably tell - never been to LA...In Reston there was a cool nature trail right beside the Hotel...obviously a different worldout there...btw, I'm from North Carolina and my very first marathon was in Oklahoma City...only reson I've ever been to Oklahoma...it was cool. Sawthe girl's World Series in Softball...Man, I couldn't hit one of theirpitches with a tennis racket!! lol See ya...Fred VC

LOL...that's funny Tim!! I'd probably break my neck running the stairs...and everybody else will get all the good cars while I'm laid up!!! Seeya there...FVC

Yea...that'd be my luck - the police would see me running - then shoot first and ask questions later!!! Think I'll try to find a nice treadmill insidesomewhere...lol

<p>Hay where is it at this year?</p>

LOL...10-4 - i'll talk to you before I fly out to see if you've changed your mind!!

<blockquote> when I visualize running in LA, it generally involves seeing someone with stolen property being chased by the police.</blockquote>Oh, please... I know you're just kidding, Matt, but yes, you need to actually come here sometime!<br><br>And Fred - it's true what others have said, the area right around the hotel is not the greatest - but if you have a car it's a five minute drive to thebeach, and there's nothing like running on some of the nicest beaches in the world! Run all the way to Venice Beach (about 3 miles) for some scenery ofanother kind, if you know what I mean...<br><br><br>

I run and like to early in the AM the last convention I ran the fire escape and did "laps" around my floor. At 6am no one is up and I had fun doingit. I had to nap later since usually would not get to bed until very late. The long hair sausage lover can vouch for this. When the convention was in GardenGrove I ran a few times outside and learned quickly which way was ok. I think the run I did when I went the "wrong" way was probably the fastest fewmiles I ever ran. <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif">

I took running shoes and attire with me twice to the convention, and never used them. Nothing to do with the neighborhoods, just flat out didn't want todo it since it was a mini vacation and always ran into people to talk with...<br>

The only place Scott is going to run to is the liquor store then to the strip joint!!!!!!<br>L.O.L. Mike

No Scott isn,t going to run to the liquor store. He,ll find someone who has a vechile to go get it. The bottles would weigh too much that he couldn,t carrythem all back(lol). And as to the strip joint i think those women might scare him (lol).

Kenneth : he might scare thoughs gals with that little cigars he smokes and his Tiny PEEPER!!!<br>He He Mike

Greetings Fred,<br>looking at some of your running history I'd wager you could not, NOT run for 4 straight days. <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif" alt="image"><br>Creative running routes are half the fun sometimes.<br>Good luck with that &amp; Big congrats on the BQ in Myrtle Beach.<br>Enjoy the convention. <img src="http://mmb.maverick.to/images/smilies/party5.gif" alt="image"><br>Really wish I were attending.<br>

I lived in the area a few years back and I can point you in the right direction. If you have a rent car you can run on the bike path staring in Playa Del Rayand run along the beach for miles in both directions. Sorry I won't be joining you but I'd be happy to help... LOL<br><br>Andrew

We do the three room stagger and drop, at least that's what I used to do when I went to such things!!!

Hey...Sorry for the late reply...I put my post in the wrong topic and they moved it...Tim (blueshaver) let me know where to find it again...Anyway, thanks forthe info... a beach run would really be my preference...for several reasons!!
