Prospect Hill Park

Boston in the distance
One of the worst things about living in our apartment in Waltham is how difficult it is to get away from the traffic and noise of the roads and find a nice place to run. Many times I have repeatedly run up and down the same sidewalk just because it was so nice to actually have a sidewalk to run on. Today, though, I discovered a pretty sweet little 100 acre park called Prospect Hill only a couple of miles from our apartment. As you would expect it is hilly, but it is crisscrossed by 4-5 miles of paved and unpaved trails and rewarded some of the steeper climbs with nice views of Boston. I know it's surrounded by urbanity, but it was quiet enough to hear the snow flakes as they hit the leaves on much of the run.
