Running in the City

For the past 6 years I've done the majority of my running on country roads in Western Kansas and Central Oklahoma. Now I have to become a city runner. While I have to look out more for traffic, curbs, and roots in the sidewalk there are advantages: people to interact with on the go, skyscrapers and baseball stadiums to run around, great River trails, and lots of gas stations to get water and use facilities! 6 miles through the city feels like it goes by so much faster than 6 miles in the country. I imagine I'll miss trees, and hills, wildlife and soft terrain to run on eventually, but for now the change is welcome!
