    Running Across America: The 12 Most Scenic Snapshots

    Having toured around the country for my music, I have a lot of people ask me what city is my favorite to play. My answer is always that it depends on the venue, because sometimes the venue is the only place we see when we're in a city. Now, this doesn't apply to all artists. But if I'm going to get out and see the town I'm playing in, its going to be done by foot. I've taken runs that bring me down county roads and county highways. Some of my running routes have taken me where there's barely any shoulder on the road and you can't see anything but pavement for miles. I've run through neighborhoods and small towns and seen places that look like they were pulled right out of a storybook. I've run by the ocean with views you would think are only in your imagination. I have seen a lot of this country while running. This is such a beautiful country we live in. And I get to see it while running America. - By Jo Dee Messina
