    Better safe then sorry, few more minutes spent walking will help especially compared to the time spent if i did hit something due to the congestion

    Magliner.com I’d buy the metal one it’s much more sturdy than the plastic one

    Makes sense. Im still learning my route but here in a week or so i should be on my own. I know most of my routes but for some reason my tuesday route and some of my Wednesday route are escaping me. Way too much information to remember it all after only running those routes for those days once

    It will take awhile before you get into a good rhythm. Then you'll get thrown curveballs periodically to keep you on your toes!

    It's hard to say when it comes to tough backs usually I try it a couple times and if it's taking me to long or what ever I just say forget it and do it the hardway.
