Your local mall is another excellent suggestion. Indoor mall walking used to be pretty popular. I'm not sure how popular it is now. But, malls do unlock their main doors early for walkers.

Another possibility is that sometimes early morning cardio classes are avaiable in church basements, community centers, and school gyms. That way you don't have to pay for a full service gym.

Well I spent the morning yesterday with my older two children cleaning out the garage. My husband blames all the clutter on the kids, but more than half of it's his Anyways, I have one little spot that will fit my treadmill. Now it's just a matter of figuring out how to get the big thing up from the basement and out to the garage. Then I'll be able to walk and listen to music.
Problem solved right? |

That is awesome that you will be able to get your treadmill set up in the garage, flamingoo! If you and dh can't get it up the stairs and out there, maybe it'd be worth it just to hire someone for an hour to do that moving for you. You might ask a neighbor if they know anyone who might want to do that, make an hour's pay or so. Chances are someone will do it for free! :wave:

Wow, I'm not sure my community knows about this! Our local high school track used to be open to all, then they built a stadium around it, re-did the track, built a gate around it all and locked it. I emailed administration last summer to see if the public could use it and was told "no." It's closer than the park I occasionally run in, as well as flatter. Also very well lit, while the path in the park goes through woods and gets very dark and isolated...

If I were to sit on my front steps to drink coffee at 4am, I might see a family of deer wondering by, but that's about it. Of course, I live in a fairly rural area.

If you drive through my neighborhood, it looks harmless; safe. I feel safe in my neighborhood because it is just that, my neighborhood. We develop a comfort level in our own surroundings because we're used to the comings and going. Regardless of what you decide, don't take your comfort level for granted and be aware when you're out and about. In this world, there is no perfect neighborhood. |
