Since today is Tuesday, I’m linking up with these wonderful ladies:
Erika @ MCM Mama Runs, Marcia @ Marcia’s Healthy Slice and Patty @ My no-guilt life for
Today’s topic is Scenes from my run.
It’s no secret that I love to run in the warm weather. My preferred scenery is an ocean or a lake.
Memories…
But since it is winter, I have to make do with what’s in my area.
Here are my favorite places to run:
Corning Bike Path along the Hudson River
UAlbany esp. the Indian Pond Trail
Colonie Town Park
Zim Smith Trail
Nisky Bike Path along the Mohawk River
Delmar Rail Trail
Now only if the winter would cooperate and we would have a dry winter. Otherwise all the trails above will look like this:
Happy Running! Where do you like to run?
Nisky is actually one of my least favorites, but I end up there a lot because a) it’s convenient and b) it’s mostly flat.
Corning is also one of my favorites. I run in my neighborhood a lot (not exciting at all) and at the Crossings a lot — which is not, but not super scenic — but again, convenient and somehow just peaceful to me. Maybe it’s the lake. Maybe it’s my memories of Chester.

Well you know I run where there is food at the end so Zim is my favorite but there’s Cider Belly at Corning and Starbucks at Nisky & the Crossings 🙂

You know for UAlbany there’s Peaches . . their desserts are really good. But that’s not how I plan my runs, usually I bring my own stuff.

You have some wonderful places to run! I love running over covered bridges and looking out to the water.

I love that tree with the face carved in it! Very cool. I definitely prefer running on local trails that have more of a wooded feel instead of more urban areas.

me too! but those are icy in the winter because no one clears them.

Those bridges are beautiful! Ironically the trails that I enjoy in the summer are usually closed or unsafe in the winter so my running becomes less peaceful as I stick to the roads more than usual, or the treadmill if it’s icy.

Oh too bad. We just had a big snowstorm so I may on the roads instead of those trails 😦

it is – esp during a mild winter like the last few years – otherwise I can’t run on the trails until spring.

I’m envious of all those trails!! I have a lake that has about 2/3 of the “loop” as a trail, and the remaining 1/3 is a concrete path. It’s nice, I just wish I had a few more options away from the city streets.

We just had a big snowstorm so I will also be reduced to those city streets,

You always have the greatest pics. I have been running on the Greenway in Charlotte, it is a paved path with some areas of boardwalk that runs through the woods. Very calm and peaceful!
