In the normal course of events, I work out in a gym less than five minutes from my house, but when I'm away from home I tend to run outside even if the hotel has an exercise room.
I don't like unfamiliar treadmills and reckon those found in hotels are vastly inferior to the quality machines in my gym. Most of this thinking comes from stumbling while on a crap treadmill in Houston last summer and skinning both of my knees on the belt when the emergency stop button didn't work.
So here in Clearwater Beach I ran along the boardwalk - or whatever they call it - this morning and I'll stick to that plan tomorrow too. Today it was dry, comfortable and there was a light breeze, so that worked for me - together with great views of the Gulf of course.
