Most vacations taken by runners evolve around those prestige races ie. New York Marathon, Boston ,Chicago, Rome, Hawaii ,Greece Marathon.
There will not be candle lite dinners for two in romantic out of the way Bistro's.
Instead it you and a few thousand unknowns are at another Pasta dinner and the only treat you might get is a small taste cup of Ben and Jeri's.
No late night walks about the town,Nada,no espresso bars to sit and gaze at each other nienti,no wine,just him complaining he's got to get to bed.
No dancing it does not count if you the leap and stomp flaying arms about as you throw a hissy fit at having to return to the hotel at 9 pm.
People its early to bed , earlier breakfast on your own as the have thier morning run, then they return you get to wait around til their ready for a quick tour aroungd, back for dinner , rest on the terrace or by the pool as they take a nap, then they are off to bed and you and your book can be alone.
I can only say this always bring a third or pick one up along the way, someone from the area and who doesn't speak English if possiable!
So that at least you have a chance of enjoying parts of the vacation.
This is the truth, I swear on 22 pairs of elite worn down runners currently residing in my basement giving off toxic gases!
