What gym, if you don't mind me asking? I'm lifting at Planet Fitness in Towers three times a week and want to find somewhere nice to run on the other days, too.

Probably a road. My endurance is crap and the most I've been able to run at once is about 3.5 miles. The closest greenway to my house runs by the river, I didn't know if it was a nice run or how long it is.

The greeway is a good option. park at the 13th street parking lot. If you go west its probably 5 or 6 miles long. goes past the hospital, rivers edge park, through smith & wasena park into Grandin by Black Dog Salvage. crosses the bridge and continues for another 1/2 mile before dead ending.

if you go east from 13th street it goes for a couple miles. Follow the signs through the neighborhood for 1/2 mile then it starts again. ends in Vinton. This way is not very pretty at the start and it goes by the waste treatment ponds but finishes up nicely.

another option is the parkway. usually wherever the parkway crosses a road you can find a foot path so you could run directly from your house.

hope this helps. if you ever decide to try trail running let me know. we have some of the best and most accessible trail on the east coast.

Work outs aren't the problem. Diet is though. I will not lose the weight till I fix the diet.

I've been stuck in te range of 160-169 for the past month. Just depends on the day. Not sure if I'm going through a cycle of gaining some muscle as I increase my workouts or what. I admit, I've strayed on my eating a little. That's prob to blame.
