I guess this is as good a time as any to tell you about some favorite summer running spots. There are some wonderful locations for summer training runs. Starting in Portsmouth you run through New Castle and come out on the other side of Portsmouth. You can go in either direction though I prefer starting at Prescott Park. You also get to see some wonderful old homes.
Total distance is about six miles.
The New Castle loop is probably the most traveled loop in the Granite State. YORK, Maine A personal favorite. Start at Short Sands Beach, head towards Nubble Light, then down Long Sands Beach. There is nothing like running along the ocean. Just be careful.
