TOTR: Scenes from My Run (Summer 2017)

This week’s topic is Summer Scenes From My Run

In the summer, I try to run in different places. Here are few of my favorites:

Peebles Island – there’s a park with a trail and lots of bridges to run over in the surrounding area.

Zim Smith Bike Path – a nice peaceful trail plus you can park in a bakery’s parking lot.

Along the Rivers in NYC – I have been in NYC quite frequently for work lately.

East River

Hudson River

Delmar Rail Trail – I run here the most often because it’s nearby.

Washington Park – a nearby park with a lake and some rolling hills. It is especially beautiful when the tulips are blooming.

Bolton Landing – I love running here in the summer especially for the views of Lake George (We keep our boat here so I only get to run here in the summer.)

The Crossings – another local park where I run.

Colonie Town Park – a park and a bike path

Corning Bike Path – nice flat route along the Hudson River

Chestertown/Brant Lake Along the Schroon River – another summer only spot (My friend has a house here and it’s not far from our boat.)

I am not really training for anything right now. My next half is on October 1. I have just been running short distances. Besides it’s hot and I am enjoying my scenery. But soon I will have to increase those weekend miles.

Happy Running! Where is your favorite spot to run in the summertime?

You have so many pretty places to run! We…do not. Which makes me appreciate other areas, when I get to run there, like North Carolina or California.

I was at the Crossings for the first time in quite some time. Generally I run in my neighborhood; not so exciting, especially considering I also walk the dogs there. But convenient.

I definitely do like to mix it up! There’s some sort of rail trail in Ballston Spa I think . . . someday, maybe.

I’ve done a few races in BS. The trail that I found was short so I don’t think that was it. There is a great bike path in LG village that goes a long way south.

  Never raced in BS. I forget how long this path is supposed to be, but right now I don’t need long. Just need the time to get there, run, etc.

I haven’t run in my neighborhood in years. So boring. Not convenient either cuz I’m never home. Lol

  My neighborhood is boring too. But there’s no rail trail super close to me. Crossings & Colonie Park are as close as it gets & sometimes I don’t have the extra 30 minutes to drive somewhere.
  
  Running isn’t all I do either!
