Warwick Ford in "Fun on Foot in New England" has presented the natural beauty and history of New England through a wonderful display of trails and routes through its cities, towns, seaside, and forested areas which runners, joggers, and walkers can enjoy. As a runner with over forty years of pounding the pavement over the same routes, this book has introduced me to some very interesting places to put my running shoes on. Runners love new routes and the challenges they physically and mentally bring, this book gives me all this and more. Mr. Ford definitely understands the mind of a runner.

As an avid walker I believe this book captures the best walks in New England. I wish I had it on my last visit to Portsmouth, NH. The walks in the book are long (many 7-9 miles)so they can also be used for biking and jogging or shortened for a more typical walk. The authors incorporate info on how to get to many start points by public transportation which is great for the city walks. If you are into walking, biking and/or jogging outside of your immediate area, this is a great book to help you find the best trails.

Walking is great exercise, and can be a great way to meet new people and see places one has overlooked before. "Fun on Foot in New England: The Best Places to Run, jog, walk around Boston and throughout..." covers various jogging paths for people to use throughout the New England area and all of the states throughout and point out points of interest throughout while explaining why the reader should choose a certain path over another. Deftly compiled, "Fun on Foot in New England: The Best Places to Run, jog, walk around Boston and Throughout" is highly recommended for any hiking or jogging enthusiast.
