Tired Of Running The Same Route? These New Jersey Spots Are Worth The Trip

It's one of those things I say every year, especially when the weather starts nicer: I'm going to start running more.

I really enjoy taking long walks, and every year I try to convince myself I can take it up a notch and turn those walks into runs. The problem is that I start to get bored with the same loop around my neighborhood, and I hate the idea of running on a treadmill at the gym during the summer months. It sounds totally dreadful.

I would much rather be outside enjoying the fresh air, and it got me thinking about some of the best places to run in New Jersey. Sometimes I don't even want to listen to music. I just like listening to the sounds around me, and oddly enough, it helps make the miles go a little faster.
