Fight the Buldge Everywhere!

Being a tourist is a pass to eat whatever. "When i am going to be in (blank) and eat (blank) again?" Well I told myself that many times but have found some awesome places to take in some beautiful scenary and still work a sweat.

Coyote Point County Recreation Area and City of San Mateo Parks - San Francisco Bay Trail in San Mateo
Watch the kite surfers in the water, the doggies in the doggy park & planes land into sfo. On a clear day there are great views of SF and awesome sunsets. Remember to work out!
Fat Tire Bike Tour in Barcelona
Tricky to ride on the street but excellent way to explore barcelona. Just don't try to bike to parc guell though its a STEEP hill - i learned the hard way.
Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris
There are chairs through out to lounge,people watch and eat pastries. The gravel is ideal for running when exploring the many nooks of this amazing park.
Runyon Canyon Park in Los Angeles
Great for Celebrity/ dog watching...i prefer the dogs :D Panoramic views of LA through out the trail; Just make sure you have the energy to go up the STEEP hill
Sawyer Camp Trail in Half Moon Bay
6 mile trail- no exit points so remember you have to go back! Peaceful views of the reservoir and changing landscape. my fave. is the "lord of the rings" part.
Templo de Debod in Madrid
Beautiful fountain ontop of a hill with spectacular views of the city. Plus its big enough to run/walk around like a track. perfect before tapas!
Hyde Park in London
I actually enjoyed running here when it was cold, you'd be amazed how quickly the body warms up, plus the park is way less crowded!
The Big C in Berkeley
I's quite an uphill climb from campus but the reward is amazing views of Memorial Stadium, Berkeley campus and San Francisco bay.
Avenue Saint-Martin in Monaco
Intense hill climb to this coastal Avenue. Saint-Martin is adorned by beautiful gardens, cliffs and endless ocean views. On the way there's the Aquarium and the Prince's Palace
the dish in Palo Alto
Interval training without having to adjust the incline. More people running/jogging on this course than kids on bikes or moms with stollers (blame the hills.)
Bois de Vincennes in Paris
MASSIVE park just outside of paris city limits. Beautiful lakes and random running trails through out. There's a lovely chateau somewhere which takes time to find.
