Running

How many miles to Babylon?
Three score and ten
Can I get there by candlelight?
Yes, there and back again
If your heels are swift and light
You will get there by candlelight

Running elevates your heart rate. People do this for exercise, for sport, for social interaction, to escape incarceration, or simply for the merits of being outside. You can run most anywhere, but there are some places to run that are better than others. Also, no matter how slow you are, you're faster than these joggers. Also, check out some of the favorite training runs of the top-ranked Davis High cross country team on these interactive maps — http://www.dhscrosscountry.com/nss-folder/greenbeltroutes/index.html — created as an Eagle Scout project by former team member Kenny Durell, Class of 2008, now running for Columbia University. On the green belt, Bot's-dots mark every half mile on the routes and online the maps include water fountain locations. All runs begin and end at the high school track, giving you an opportunity to check out the new stadium on your way out and back.
