If you plan to run inside, consider joining a gym. Aside from tracks, health clubs have treadmills. Treadmills are a great way to concentrate on your form and breathing. Or, if you've already mastered the art of running, treadmills are still great because they allow you to truly zone out, without having to fear getting hit by a Harley. There are ten other YMCA fitness centers in Greater Milwaukee, and most have smaller tracks.
Scholarships are available.
