NEW ROUTES FOR ROAD RUNNERS
By Valerie Ready

(MONEY Magazine) – Executives who jog don't have to break training on business trips or face unfamiliar terrain or inclement weather. The solution: indoor tracks. Here's a list of tracks near business centers in five major cities. Admission runs from free to no more than $15 a day: -- Atlanta. YMCA at 145 Luckie St. (404-527-7676). A 1/26-mile track, suspended over the gym floor. -- Chicago. The East Bank Club, 500 N. Kingsbury (312-527-5800). Two indoor tracks -- one-quarter and one-sixth of a mile -- both banked with views of the Chicago River. -- Houston. The Texas Club, 601 Travis St. (713-227-7000). A two-lane, 1/13- mile course. -- Minneapolis. Set up in the Metrodome, Chicago Ave. and Fourth St. (612-332-0386). The Metrodome's half-mile course opens to runners in the winter. Usually Tuesday and Thursday evenings; call to confirm. -- Seattle. The Seattle Club, 2020 Western Ave. at Market Place (206-443-1111). A raised and padded 1/12-mile track.
