About this title

Synopsis

TRAVELING ON THE RUN is a guide for the business or leisure traveler who wants to stay fit while away from home. The book covers 70 US and 23 International cities and features maps with hotels, landmarks, and running routes.

The hotels were chosen with the business traveler in mind and are near the convention centers and financial districts. The running routes were recommended by local runners and provide safe and interesting routes of 5 to 8 miles. Also included are hotel phone numbers, costs, fitness facilities, running clubs and running retailers, major races and emergency phone numbers.

Training articles by Joe Henderson and Jeff Galloway, two of the best known and highly respected runners, trainers and authors are also included in the book.

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
