Suppose you want to hit a Mexican beach for a few days of chillaxing, and you want to keep it easy. Well, there’s always Cancun, which is pretty simple to reach, with cheap fares from most east coast cities.

Running had its first boom in the 70s, and has been making quite the comeback in the past few years. estimates that 507,000 people finished marathons in 2010 and since 2003, the half marathon has been the fastest growing road race distance in the U.S., with more than 1.1 million finishers in 2009. That means that close to two million people will run a race over 13.1 miles this year, not including the hundreds and hundreds of miles they will log during training.
Most people run races not necessarily to win, but to set a personal best, or sometimes just to finish—all you need is a good pair of shoes and a determined mindset. P
