⭐ Why I Ran This Lake
Just wanted a nearby lake to check off a box for a weekend long run.
🏃 The Run
I completed approximately twelve laps around Como Lake using a mix of park paths, snow-covered trails, and nearby neighborhood streets. The route remained continuous and runnable throughout, making it well-suited for a long run with repeated loops.
While the course does circle the lake, portions of route were on park trails and neighborhood streets, so lake views were intermittent rather than continuous. The repetition made it easy to settle into a steady rhythm and focus on a relaxed effort.
🌅 Scenery Notes
Intermittent lake views and snow-covered park paths
Cayuga Creek sections added variety
Quiet residential stretches between park segments
🗒️ Notes for Next Time
This loop works well for when consistency and continuity matter more than constant lake views
