Boston is definitely a runners city. Not only do we have the Boston Marathon, but there are plenty of hidden running paths where you are more likely to run into a duck than a car or see a sailboat rather than stop-and-go traffic. My favorite run is the one around the Charles River. I start on campus and make my way into Cambridge, loop around the Museum of Science, and head back through the lush Esplanade. I catch glimpses of the North End Bridge, State House, and finally the Citgo sign, which means that I am almost home. Running around the paths (dirt or paved) is simple to follow and it's never too crowded like Newbury Street. The view is what keeps me trucking along my 5.4 mile route...
There is one catch...the wind. I've discovered that whichever way that you run, the wind is always in your face. Some days its a struggle to get moving! But I like to try and chase the sailboats or crew boats in the morning. For me, it's a motivator to keep going forward because I know that if I turn back...it'll just hit me from the other side.
