The desire to travel seems to be one of those things that needs to be ignited within an individual, like by hearing an amazing story from a friend, seeing a cool picture online or through the promotion of a specific tourist attraction (IE: Disneyland - "The Most Magical Place on Earth!").
One thing that inspires me to travel is my passion for running. Running is an activity that can be done anywhere is the world and all you need is a good pair of shoes (or not)! Best part? It's FREE! It’s also a great (and active) way to explore a new place and really take in the beauty of any destination.

Another cool thing about running is that it can be organized or fully free-spirited.
Nike Woman's Marathon - San Fransisco (Merriam, Megan. 2012)
1) It's for an amazing cause (leukemia and lymphoma research)
2) You can join with friends (as well as make so many new ones)
3) You fund raise, so your flight and accommodations are covered (free trip to San Francisco? Yes please!)
4) You can pick and choose events all over North America

Has anyone ever done anything through TNT? I would be interested in hearing your story!
If you're not big into organized sporting events, fundraising or you just prefer to do your own thing, my suggestion would be to look up running blogs or community websites. There are so many beautiful routes to check out, especially if you are going to coastal destinations. A couple of my favorite places have been in Vancouver and in Maui.

Be sure to take the time to enjoy the scenery - sounds, sights and smells (leave your iPod behind)!
I also love running and enjoy every second of it. The only sad part is that running becomes alot less enjoyable during the winter, due to the freezing cold. But even through the coldness its amazing to be able to view the beautiful scenery. I honestly need to be listening to music in order to fully absorb my surroundings so running with an ipod is a must. I enjoyed reading your blog post. There are no downsides to running and it can also help amazing causes and people around the world. Keep up the good work
