  1. This is a longer shot than my "running in St. Petersburg (Russia)" query of
    last year, but: how about Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine?

    I'm going for a week or ten days, soon, with perhaps a side trip to Odessa
    or Kiev.

    I'm imagining there must be a couple dozen highly accomplished women masters
    runners in every major city. But on second thought they're probably all
    outside the country, winning half the prize money at major road races
    worldwide.

    Anyone know anything about this city, about running in Ukraine generally, or
    just a can't-miss restaurant?

    And no, I'm not seeking a wife there. Already got one too many, arguably
    (and yeah I'm certain it is arguable, having argued both sides of it...)

    Check out runtheplanet.com.
    They have Kiev listed with some words of wisdom that might be useful.
    Maybe you can add to it after you come back.

    Good luck and have fun.

    I once shared a sleeping compartment on a train with two elderly gents
    from D; it's the only time in my life when I've drunk vodka:-)

    Which would still leave the usual assortment of running nuts and
    marathon bums doing their rounds somewhere in the suburbs where the
    traffic poses less risk to life and the air is easier to breathe.

    Besides, in every major city there probably is a "Maratonskaya Komanda
    Shri Tsinmoya"; the information may not be quite up-to-date, but in D
    there at least used to be a two-mile test run held every Sunday
    starting at 7PM near a memorial aircraft of some sort in "Sunshine"
    housing area (or would it be "Sunny Projects"😉, if you're interested...
