July 8, 2017 - Get Inspired By Nature!
San Diego is a beautiful place to
live. There are so many wonderful places to go for a walk or run where you can
feel the sun, breathe fresh air and witness breathtaking views. Nature has an
awesome way of relieving our stresses and inspiring us to go further.
Below are 5 paths to help you
reconnect with nature while completing your fitness goals:
Moonlight State Beach – Encinitas: Start at Moonlight Beach
(where Encinitas Blvd meets the beach) and walk north to Beacon's Beach (where
Leucadia Blvd meets the beach). Walk back for a 5K round-trip distance.
Waterfront Park – City of San Diego: Did you know
walking 4 times around the outside of the waterfront park is a little more than
a 5K? Enjoy the fountains, native plant garden and views of the city and bay.
Lake Murray - City of San Diego: Take the lake
trail around the lake from the parking lot to Bowman Cove (just past the golf
course, near the first little league baseball field) and back for a 5K round
trip distance. Of course, if you really want to challenge yourself, walking all
the way to the dam gate and back is the same distance as walking two 5K's!
Lower Otay Lake - Chula Vista: Start at Mountain Hawk
Park, just north of the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center and take the
Centennial Trail north to Otay Lakes Road and back for a 5K round-trip distance.
Bayshore Bikeway – Coronado, Imperial Beach: Start at
Orange Avenue near Glorietta Boulevard in Coronado and follow the multi-use
path southward towards Imperial Beach along the silver strand. At The Silver
Strand Nature’s Bridge to Discovery Pier, turn around for an approximate 5K
round-trip distance.
