Where in the World have YOU run?

In an effort to be efficient this morning, I combined my morning run with the errand of returning videos to Top Hat. I thought this would be a good way to force myself to run some hard hills. As I was plodding down 3100 South, I started thinking about all the cool places I have run. Here is my list so far (I will update as I remember):

Canada:
Victoria, B.C.

Washington State:
San Juan Islands (Roche Harbor)
Monroe
Bellingham
Spokane
Long Beach

Arizona:
Lake Powell, near Glen Canyon Dam

Logan
Hyrum
Eden
Liberty

Missouri:

Illinois:

Chicago (Does running through the O'Hare airport while trying to catch a connecting flight count? Even with my pounding on the closed door while yelling, "let me in! I can see the plane, it is sitting RIGHT THERE!")

Wisconsin:

Door County

Virgina:
Crystal City

Washington D.C.

Massachusetts:

Somewhere in the Carribean on a Cruise Ship

New York:
How about running from Broadway to catch the subway train back to JFK...does that count??? Dang it!

That's all I have so far. Whenever I go on a trip, I always pack my running clothes/shoes in case I have a chance to go for a quick run. I hauled my running gear on our trip to Israel, but we never had a minute go running. I DID, however, swim in some pretty cool places: the Mediterranean Sea, the Dead Sea, Jordan River, Sea of Galilee....
