Birmingham Running Routes

One of my goals this year was to start building my running endurance.  Running to me is quite the chore, but it's certainly one of those activities that when I'm done, I feel the running high, but before and during, it takes a lot of physical and mental effort to get me going.

Typically, my runs in Birmingham are a little over 3 miles (probably like a 5k) and roughly 30 minute runs.  Here are the common routes I took on my quest to 5 miles:

• A 3.08 mile run through the Linden Park path to the Quarton Lake
• A 3.47 mile run down to 14 mile and back up.  
• A 3.7 mile run along Lincoln Avenue back via Maple.
• A 4.7 mile run along Lincoln but cutting up Fairfax to Quarton and back down to Maple via Chesterfield.
