Jogging in Austin
by Darin at N30 24.652, W097 43.644
Clearly the best place to run in Austin is around Town Lake; not to toot my own horn or anything, but I ran about 4.8 miles this morning around the lake. If you live here, you gotta come try it out sometime. You run along the Colorado River and cross various bridges in order to shorten/lengthen your trip. You can also rent kayaks and row the river, rock climb on the nearby greenbelt, or take your bike around the lake. It passes by some of the nicest rec areas in Austin. And it's all within sight of downtown (and sight of my apartment).
Here are the mileages for the town lake trail:
