Boldly Go Solo

A 45-year-old woman in Wisconsin uses marathon running as a way to take solo vacations. "Every spring and fall, I look through my marathon calendar and ask myself where I’d like to go," she told a Wisconsin paper. "I just throw a marathon in for the heck of it. I get to see nice places, meet nice people and see the scenery."

This is what I’m TALKIN’ about. A marathon, a business trip, a visit to your old college roommate’s mother. Who happens to live in Paris. You find a little something that makes the idea of solo travel comfortable. Then you make your plans and go.
