Where do YOU run?

To all the Runners out there:

Hey there! I'm new to the Davis Square area and am currently training for a spring marathon. I just started the training, so I don't have to do any really long runs for a while, but I'm having a hard time finding pleasant routes. The snow/ice doesn't bother me, but the cars and the traffic do. It would be great to find a few routes that take me away from places like Mass Ave, to mix things up a bit.

So my question is.. Where do you like to run? What are your favorite routes? I'd love to find a few new, enjoyable routes that range anywhere between 3 and 10 (or more) miles. 

Any help would be much appreciated! :)

mystic valley parkway -- head out of davis to boston ave (tufts area), head west over rt 16, take a left at arlington st. once you get past the rt 60 rotary it turns into a wide, relatively quiet street with ginormous shoulders.

head out broadway to arlington, run around arlington.

minuteman bikeway.

take the bike path out to alewife, then head over to fresh pond/belmont area.

Also, if you have wheels and strong ankles, the middlesex fells for trail running.
