Since it’s Tuesday, I’m joining the link-up organized by Zenaida and Kim (Kooky Runner)
The Topic for today is: My Favorite Running Places
Unfortunately, this summer I have not been running on my top picks so some of these are nostalgic.
I love scenic routes (especially those along the water) and I enjoy variety.
- New York City
in Central Park
along the East River
along the Hudson River
- Bolton Landing (upstate NYS)
- Washington Park (Albany)
in the spring
winter
and fall
- Zim Smith Bike Path
- The Crossings
- Albany Rail Trail
There are a few more that I haven’t mentioned here as well:
-
- Colonie Town Pk
-
- Nisky Bike Path
-
- Corning Bike Path
I’m also linking up here:
Formerly the Running Coaches’ Corner, it’s back with new co-hosts Coach Debbie Runs, Running on Happy, Confessions of a Mother Runner, Mile by Mile, Runs with Pugs, and Fauxrunner.
Happy Running! What criteria do you use when picking a favorite route? Are you still running on your favorite routes during the Pandemic? Please share.
My First 5K and More... 
So many beautiful views, Darlene!
I think I would choose “The Crossings”. I love running in forests and having a lot of green around me.
I like that photo of you in Washington Park in front of the tulips. Your skirt matches perfectly!

Thanks. The only thing better would be to run with ocean views.

I’m always amazed by your pictures. I do most of my running right out of my front door so the scenery doesn’t vary that much although I do have many routes to choose from. Probably my favorite place to run is on the beach on vacation. I’ll just do a few miles and then jump into the ocean.

That would be my favorite too. For sure.

You really can’t beat NYC for running views, but Albany is super pretty too!

It has its perks. But no ocean. That would be my fave.

I also like scenic routes along the water, but that doesn’t happen very often the days! I do have lake a few miles from my house that I sometimes run around if Im doing a longer run. I’ve actually never run in NYC and that is definitely on my running bucket list!

I hope you get to NYC in the future. That lake run must be nice.

You’ve certainly done your share of exploring this year! I love the cityscape as much as I love the trails. The view never gets old–and I’m talking about the Chicago lakefront, lol. I’ve never run in NYC.

Oh you have to do a NYC race!! And I’d love to run in Chicago. I’ve been there once but before I was a runner.
Again about nature and city view.

Obviously I am not running my favorite routes, except for the one recently.
My favorites are always by water. 🙂
