Two hour run in 92 degrees at 3 in the afternoon in Atlanta. Ran in the Eastpoint area of the city, more commonly known by the locals as Gunspoint. Possibly as miserable a run as you can get. Planes blasting off non stop overhead out of Hartsfield, humidity at 100%, hostile glares from everyone on the sidewalks. Sigh...

Man, you never get to run any place decent.

Depends on your definition of decent.. 10,000 feet high on a treacherous trail in the mountains, or just a leisurely stroll through Death Valley:)

City runs are such a mental drag.

Try the Chain of Lakes in Minneapolis. Also, Salt Lake City, Utah has this run where you can start right downtown and within 5 minutes be on trails going up City Creek Canyon for miles.
