Running means different things to different people — muscle-maker, fitness-bringer, head-clearer, lung-capacity-expander, sanity-maintainer. To tie up your running shoes and pound the pavement can be excruciating, a chore with every step. But striding along one of the prettiest riverside stretches in Boston can help make your run more pleasure than pain. Stretching near three miles along the Charles River, from the Museum of Science to the BU Bridge, THE ESPLANADE offers primo running real estate, sailboats, sunlight glittering off the water, Cambridge on the other shore, the mighty Mass Ave Bridge astretch across it all. The miles just drift away.
