Beautiful shot. I lived in Calgary in the 1970s...so it was fun to see that it's still a pretty place! I remember ice skating on the Bow River!

Great park. Nice to see spring back again. Must be easier for running.

@bobg thanks Bob, it is SO much easier. I'm glad i ran through the winter because after running on all the snow and ice, pavement feels so easy!

Stunning photo Lauren.. Looks gorgeous there

This is really pretty Lauren!!

Looks like a lovely place to run Lauren. The framing in this shot is perfect. My normal running route isn't near as picturesque.

How many miles (sorry, km) does this place have on?

@fallingwaters Hi Don, I'm actually not sure how many km. the whole park is quite large, as it's a series of parks all through this city mostly along the river. My usual running route is usually just around my neighborhood (mostly only 3 km, sometimes 5) but the day i took this i was running to my husbands workplace to meet him, which for me was a 20min run (so i would guess 3km, i'm slow, lol)

@laurentye Oh, nice. I have friends in Minneapolis - it's the same thing there. Just a huge interconnected series of parks with biking and running trails. I'm so envious that you guys have that.

Oh, and it doesn't matter how fast or slow you are - just matters that you are running :)

LOvely :)

@anron thanks Anita!

What a gorgeous place for running! That's what I REALLY miss in Shanghai. I run but in the city it's not really enjoyable ;) Great photo!

Lauren this scenery would make me want to run again I packed in in 1988 to concentrate on cycling. Great landscape I love your landscapes have I Said that b4?????????????? Perfection a fave for me & Frank (dad)

@sabrinaromahn thank you Sabrina, I know what you mean about running in the city, for sure not as enjoyable!
