Run Your Way Around The World

Comments  (11)

Aug 1, 2012 —  It’s hard to encapsulate the feeling you get during that perfect run, where you zone out, lose sight of all those worries and become thankful for the countless things in your life, one of which is simply, your surroundings. As you forget your body’s propelling motion while ironically picking up speed, you look around, breathe deeply and realize the beauty in the natural backdrop displayed before you.

And once you’ve got on those rose-colored glasses and that near-orgasmic runner’s high has officially kicked in, the little things stop mattering as much. You’re able to blow right by the sidewalk hog with three dogs and Rocky IV blasting from his iPhone without a second thought. And shockingly, the couple making out on the park bench every Thursday afternoon no longer makes you wince (very rose-colored).

Losing yourself in this adrenaline rush isn’t just about the swoosh on your sneakers or the new Lululemon shorts you’re wearing though, it all starts with the will and “where” to go. But don’t fret; we’ve done that work for you by compiling a Top 10 list of perfect sweat-it-out jogging spots in the U.S. and Europe. All you have to do is head out the door.

So give these amazing parks a test run and you can thank us later.
