The most recent moment came when I was driving to my dad's house this afternoon. I am 100% jealous of all the sidewalks he has around his house and neighborhood. Around our house - I can run about 3-3.5 miles before having to do loops to add miles. It sucks. I crave more sidewalks and more places to run close to home.
There is actually a bunch of construction going on around us to expand roads, etc. So far, most of the area they are doing constructions seems to be adding sidewalks as well as expanding the roads. I am ridiculously excited about that. I would love to do a long run from my house without having to make loops around the same route. I absolutely hate having to drive to do a long run. That's a big reason why I missed some longer runs during my last half marathon training.
Runners, be thankful for your local sidewalks. :)

We don't have sidewalks either. I run in the road for the first 1/2mi, then I have side walk for 1.5 miles, then I have to turn around and head back. I don't even attempt long runs around here. It's horrible. The longest I do in my 'hood is 6 miles, and that's painful enough. I don't mind driving for long runs if I'm running w/ the group - driving to run by myself sucks.
