It’s 72 degrees, the warm California sun is intense with you, plus the humidity is good and low. Perfect weather for a run! L.A. has among the best running trails in the nation, between mountains, ocean, parkland, and wildlife. Wonder why Angelenos are very care-free? Increase your endorphins and eat the organic beauty in one for these runs, and you’ll stay calm and cool, too!
