I usually run the country roads around my home, most are paved, but a few are gravel. There's really not much traffic.

I occasionally run nearby trails, but feel safer when I can see who or what is around me.
I've seen many deer, a couple bears, 1 moose & lots of raccoons, skunks, & opossums.

I'd love to run on the beach. That must be lovely.

During the week I run outside around my neighborhood. There are paved sidewalks everywhere but I just run on the road; all traffic is very slow and people are very mindful of runners and dog walkers. I guess I'm lucky to live in such a place On weekends I drive to my work (I work at a 2-year college) and run laps around the campus. I used to live in a resort town on east coast, so I ran along the beach, it's absolutely awesome. :bigsmile: I rarely run on a treadmill, just not my cup of tea; I get bored and cranky after mile 2 and just want to stop. One of dreams is one day to run on the Great Wall of China :happy:

I run mostly in my neighborhood. Since it's usually about 5:30 am it's quiet (and dark LOL) with not too many cars around and they are the same cars everyday so they are used to me being out there. Occasionally I will run with my daughters XC team on some local trails, but I enjoy running alone.

Footpath - I'm too lazy to run off-road, although I did enjoy it on the occasions I did. I can't be bothered with the level of concentration required - I prefer to daydream.

It's been so long I heard the word. I studied in an international school. ;-)

Outside all the time - Road and Trail both.

I don't mess around with thunderstorms and Ice. Everything else works.

I run on a mix of road, paved trail and dirt trail along a (channeled) river near my home. It is a mile to the trail entrance, a 3 mile loop on the paved trail and a mile home. For longer runs I go off on the dirt access along the river bank or to a bike trail and 'could' run all the way to the beach - I haven't tried that yet though. We see small wildlife - rabbits, squirrels and a coyote once in a while but lots of beautiful birds and hawks.
On the weekends we typically take the pup to the dog beach and I run with him offleash there.
I do it occasionally when it is too hot but hate to run on the treadmill - I find it incredibly boring!

Started on treadmill, slowly moved outdoors as I added a long run at the greenway on Saturdays. Replaced treadmill altogether as I started running in my neighborhood during the week before work. Joined a local running group a few months ago and am now doing 2 runs with the group each week. One group run is actually through neighborhoods not too far from my house. The other group run goes through research park which isn't that far from my house either, where I used to work actually.

I have been moved (my work) from Research Park now onto the local army base and actually found a jogging trail that goes pretty far. It's also nice and flat and a large part goes through woods and very little traffic. It also goes by 2 large mountains on base. If I run them (done twice so far), it's over a 1200 foot elevation gain.

Mountain running is something new I am starting to get into.

I run around my neighborhood every morning. Sometimes i hit the dreadmill but that's only if it is raing very hard or sleeting.

Treadmill usually (particularly in the Summer).. but then again, I am inside at the gym usually when I catch a few minutes run time. As the weather cools, I usually will run on the track around the school when weather permits (particularly if I don't go in to lift those days)...

Everywhere! To the gym, around the track, on treadmills, trails, roads, etc.

Seeing as I live in the country, my runs are usually on asphalt and/or gravel surfaces.

I run on the footpath, but I always run to a park (there are quite a few nice big ones near me) so I can break it up a little with some grass

For my shorter runs I usually have 1 loop I use in my neighborhood. If I go one direction it's mostly down hill, but if I want more of a challenge, I can do the loop in the opposite direction. On the weekends for my long run I like to run on the Kelly Drive Loop, here in Philadelphia (it runs by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the place with the "Rocky" steps).

I love running on the rode it's just something about the streets and my shoes hitting the pavement.

Since I run very early in the morning, shorter road runs during the week, longer trail runs on the weekends

Roads along the lakeshore either white lake or Lake Michigan. Though this time of year if its windy at all you cant run along the lake and then its the roadside or bike trails.
