Try Lincoln Recreational Park on East Escalante road.  You should not run alone though.  You can also try the golf courses.

I don't know where your location is of course, so that may hinder how useful this site is, but try: \n\nhttp://www.roadrunnersports.com/cgi-bin/rrs/rrs/rrHome.jsp\n\n\nAlso, if you have a store called Fleet Feet anywhere in your area, go there. They're great for helping you pick out shoes. They actually should (mine does) watch you run in them so they can see where / how your feet falls, your pace, et cetera.\n\nhttp://www.fleetfeet.com/

Proper running form can prevent many injuries.  Many marathoners have done the majority of their training on treadmills and have had great results.  Treadmills and trail running are good ways to train and offset the physical damage incurred by running on roads and concrete.  Concrete is the worst!!

REI has a great selection but kind of pricey, There is a climbing shop right around the corner from the REI on 3300 south, I mean right around the corner, anyway, they have good prices, but not great selection.  Kirkhams is good.  \nHope that helps.

I did the Quad Cities Marathon last year. It was very flat, had  all the normal water stops, gel stops AND about 4 SPONGE stops! Cool. had a bus tour that was free of the course twice the day before. nice new policy!! I have really cranked up the RUNNING AGENDA, too.\n\nI keep dreaming about the Tecumsah Trail Marathon,

cause other wise what would be the point of running on a track? if it was a striaght line for miles then you might as well just run somewhere else.

I'm not sure if it's close to Felicity but there are sand dunes near Yuma, Az (right on the border of California).  If we are talking about the same place you don't want to go during the summer.  It's upward of 115-120 degrees in the sun.  Also, if you want to stay alive don't go on the Memorial/Labor Day holidays.  People get drunk and get killed out there all of the time.  I would go to the dunes right after Labor Day or right before Memorial Day.  It will be warm with a smaller crowd of people.  For more information, look up hotels in Yuma, Az online and just call and ask.....they should have some good information or they can point you in the right direction.

that's great, congrats! i know there is a SF marathon, because i was there a few weeks ago and i saw them training. i was at the Huge NIKE store and they had sign ups and runners were meeting there. i would go there and inquire, because i know they were recruiting people. good luck!

Check with USATF. \nThey may be able to put you in touch with a local program. \nYou could also check with the local running shoe stores. \nFind out what running clubs there are in your area. They may sponsor something or know who does.

Road Runner Sports and National Running Center both have good web sites with a ton of merchandise. An easy search will turn them up.

Extensive jogging on roads and other cemented areas can do damage to your knees because there is no "give" in cement and your feet just keep slamming against it.  A better place to run is on trails that are just dirt.  The dirt is better in terms of impact for your knees.  As far as how long you can run, it really depends on how in shape you are.  Don't overdo it on the first day.  Listen to your body on that one.
