Photos of WISH rave runs

Another day at the beach.

Wendy, your WISH is my command...

<snip>

Let me know if you want to see more of my alternate routes, or if this was enough to make you sick! LOL

Jeff, awesome photos! So glad to see someone post to this thread again. I love the idea of seeing the conditions other WISHers run in.

Lily, I am completely in awe of you and your snowy long run. I wouldn't even know how to dress for weather like that! Certainly in NC we don't have the conditions Jeff runs in -- guess that's why they call it paradise! -- but typically the worst weather I walk in requires long tights and a couple of layers. You're a wonder!!!!

Somewhere Lily had a photo of ice buildup on her eyebrows and eyelids. Quite the picture.

Yeah, it was a good day! That first weekend in December.
This was early in my steps about 8 miles or so this stuff kept up for the remainder of the time I was outside.

My eyebrows are not white.

OK, it's not as pretty as Jeff's pictures, but this is St. Simons Island. I always forget to read the tide tables, so I just run to the beach to see if I can go back on sand or sidewalk! This was a sidewalk run, but still a pretty view.

I don't know how you brave WISHers can run in the snow!! I'm so impressed.

Very pretty, Jen!

That icy and snowy face photo is definitely a keeper, Lily!

Jeff - Awesome photos..as to be expected! I would love to run in such a beautiful place!

Lily - Your running spot looks neat, too! We have coyotes here as well. I had a pair of coyotes run right in front of me one morning recently. They are pretty scared of people around here but still, it can be scary to come across those while out.

Ok, I had to try out my new camera...

3:30 pm on Christmas day, I headed down from Ala Moana Beach to Waikiki, around Kapiolani Park, and back up the Ala Wai Canal. 9 miles in the bank.

Here's where I did my 3 miles today:

Mel,

I see footprints, but where are all the people on the beach?

OK Jeff I would say YOU won!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW! What a dream.

I'm jealous! You guys have beautiful and interesting routes. I run in a rather boring suburban setting.

This is the Minuteman Rails to Trails path. It runs from Bedford, MA to Cambridge and is 11 miles long. I have run the length and back... many moons ago....

These are the mile markers

This is the "not so pretty" backside of Lexington Center. But it's also a good spot to get a coffee, water, bathroom break!

But this is what it looks like 90% of the trail.

8 1/4 miles in 1:15:45. Warm and humid, I wasn't loving the run, but I got it done.

Here's what it looked like when I was done.

 

[momof2minnies]

I am officially moving to your neck of the woods(beach). Jeff-these are unbelievable!!!

Here are some pictures from this past weekend.

This is Long Runs Jersey Style.

Whoa! I have got to get out more! That is very picturesque -- why did I think New Jersey was all pavement and concrete?!? Thanks for sharing those!!!

Sunny I love the pictures of the Minuteman trail. If I still lived in MA (born/raised Danvers, school Medford & Cambridge) then I would out there for sure! Maybe when I come home for my summer visit I'll get a chance to check it out. I'm going to go look for the exact route

Ok so I am going to join in here. I love the trail Sunny posted - actually all the pictures posted so far have been amazing. I think the most important thing is getting out, getting in the exercise and enjoying nature.

This is a little .7 mile sidewalk that is across the street from my work so I occasionally go over there and walk on my lunch break - I put on my running shoes and put my cell phone in my pocket - but I don't change into work out clothes so I can't get too sweaty. There is also a 2 mile trail that goes over on the other side of the road and actually passes right by the back of my work. I haven't done that much of it yet since I don't have that much time on my lunch break to do it all - I would need to go there on a weekend.

This was Thursday - I did actually take off running a few times and remember saying to myself I running (actually I said it out loud!!) These pictures aren't as beautiful as others pictures here but at least it gets me out of work and gets me active at lunch time.

Most people think of this as NJ. They don't get to see the real New Jersey.

If you are ever coming to NJ let us know and we'll show you the REAL New Jersey.

Tricia,

I like your work trails. They are better then what I have. I work in an area that is more city-like then where I live. Last night on my run down the street I encountered 5 deer and several bats. I tried to get my iPhone out to take of picture of the deer but they took off.

I agree with you about it doesn't matter where you are as long as you are out there moving forward.

Later,
John
