Run with me at White Rock Lake

One of my favorite places to do a long run in 📍Dallas, TX is /White Rock Lake. One lap around the lake is about 15k (9.3 miles) making it the perfect spot to go on a long run or train for a race.

It is a fully paved path that you can use for either running or cycling, and there is almost always other runners and cyclists around so it's rarely scary to run alone. Still, take your pepper spray just in case and enjoy the ducks and birds while running around the lake. 🦆🚲👟
