Although we do have one of the coolest lakefronts, I actually really love running through neighborhoods throughout the city. I've come across new restaurants, parks, bars etc. just by exploring new hoods!
ReplyDeleteSame here Erin, I just enjoy running around the neighborhoods.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I like to run really far West. It makes these 100% effort ones REALLY 100%. Haha
Hahahaha! Yeah I'm sure. Anything past Western and you're prtty much running at about 120% :)
ReplyDeleteI actually really like running through Humbolt park. I usually reserve that for my morning runs, definitely don't want to be running through there after a certain time. ;) The north shore channel trail (I think that's the name?) is a great alternative to the lake shore trail too!
ReplyDeleteSomeone told me about a park East of the city that has a huge tobaggon track with a ton of stairs going up it... I can't for the life of me remember it. Anyone know where it is? ... I'm a glutton for pain, I feel the need to run some stairs!
ReplyDeleteLet's find this tobaggon track!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere is the start and turn around point for the 800m run?
