Walking Along Northern Avenue

If you are trying to lose weight or if you are otherwise into jogging and fitness, a wonderful sidewalk to walk or run on in Pueblo, Colorado, is the sidewalk along Northern Ave between Cambridge Ave and Pueblo Blvd. As you can see from the picture, the entire thing is wiggly like a snake. For blocks. It adds at least a mile, I'm sure. And if you are the kind of person that walks everywhere as transportation, as I do, you might not need or even want that added mile. Therefore, when I walk between Pueblo Boulevard and the Colorado State Fair Grounds area, I ignore the presence of this sidewalk entirely. I walk a straight line, through the grass and across the sidewalk multiple times. The nice thing about ignoring the sidewalk is that you can get some intermittent shade from the trees and maybe even pick a few apples from the apple trees, if you can find some that are ripe without bugs in them. There are also some pleasant rosebushes and gardens along the way, so the walk can be kind of nice.
