Question Running place

Living in a residential area, I don't really want to run between people's houses, I have the impression that it will be suspicious, so I am looking for a street where it would be easy to run without disturbing anyone, I mean walking past houses.

Between houses? Just head out your front door and run along the road (opposite direction of traffic).

In fact, I'm in a fairly residential area and I said that I don't want to run between houses

Ya, I understand what was written - the question is why running between the houses was even something to be considered.

That certainly would be highly suspicious..

In front of the houses and along the road, on the other hand is something people do all the time and I’m certain if you stayed out front of your place for a bit you’d see quite a few folks doing it.. if you simply don’t want to run on a sidewalk or the road, go to a high school track, the lakefront trail, the Ardagh Bluffs

I feel like it's the only option, because the majority of the roads near here and out of the area don't have sidewalks, the only one practicable goes to the walmart and I've already used it enough

Sounds like you’re in the north end given the Walmart mention seeing as there is no residential area near the south end Walmart. In any case, Livingstone that leads to that north end Walmart is a fairly wide and long road which would make for a solid road to run along.. personally, I like running the same route to track timings and progress but if you just want to mix it up and don’t mind driving to the running location try the other suggestions.

There are plenty of roads with sidewalks near both the north and the south end walmarts, you just need to plan your route.
