Did anyone say running in Miami?
Lacing up your sneakers to go for a run this time of year in Miami can be quite a task, especially with the weather heating up.
But considering Miami offers a slew of diverse parks -- friendly views and running paths included -- you can definitely get up running in no time.
And just think: your hard work running is going to help keep you healthy and active.
Here are my Top-5 parks in Miami to go for a run:
1.) South Pointe Park (1 Washington Ave., Miami Beach, Florida 33139):
In the mood for a relaxing and breathtaking run along the southernmost tip on South Beach as ships come in and out of Port of Miami? South Pointe Park is the perfect running spot for you -- especially if you don't mind running in the company of dogs and strollers.
2.) Baptist Hospital (8900 N. Kendall Dr., Miami, Florida 33176):
Done with a long day at work? Baptist Hospital will relax you to the point you will forget about everything as you wave along the running path to appease a very family-friendly crowd.
3.) Kennedy Park (S. Bayshore Dr./22nd Ave., Miami, Florida 33143):
Are you worried about not being able to stay up with all the runners? No worries.
Kennedy Park, a beautiful park complete with picturesque views and plenty of trees, perfect for shading, is equipped with free equipment stations and lots of soft pavement -- essential for keeping your knees healthy!
4.) Miami Beach Boardwalk (21st-46th Collins Ave., Miami Beach, Florida 33129):
Looking for a perfect view of the ocean as you run? Don't mind a few gawky tourists along the way? Go for a run on the Miami Beach Boardwalk, which stretches for approximately two miles and is littered with beautiful people during anytime of day.
5.) Don Soffer Exercise Trail: (199th/Biscayne Blvd., Across from Aventura Mall):
Don Soffer Exercise Trail is the perfect spot to work up a sweat -- on your run; the calm environment, cool air and friendly vibe adding to an overall pleasant run.
