Blue Spring and its natural spring water is the stuff of runners' dreams.  You’ll see people drive up to the spring with empty bottles and stock up on reserves.   3)  [Natasket Beach – Hull![fit_and_focused_family_runs](https://www.fitandfocused.org/hs-fs/hub/416460/file-1314360216.jpg?width=170&name=file-1314360216.jpg "fit_and_focused_family_runs")](http://www.yelp.com/biz/nantasket-beach-hull) The strip along Natasket Beach is bustling on nice days during the week and especially on weekends.  It's a great place to run with awesome views (heading away from the mainland you have ocean on your right and [The World’s End](http://www.thetrustees.org/places-to-visit/greater-boston/worlds-end.html) on your left) and designed well for a nice out-and-back 6 miles loop.    **Need MORE Motivation To Run At One Of These Locations?**   Topics: [Staying Fit And Focused For My Family](https://www.fitandfocused.org/blog/topic/staying-fit-and-focused-for-my-family) ### Recent Posts x ##### Webinar ### How To Hit Stingers This Tutorial Will Get You Closer To Those 250yd Stingers [![Take Me There](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/416460/8b1e9b6f-c99a-43a4-871f-f0ffdd4ef203.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/416460/8b1e9b6f-c99a-43a4-871f-f0ffdd4ef203) [![Fit_and_Focused_Logo.jpg](https://www.fitandfocused.org/hs-fs/hub/416460/file-1202159721-jpg/Fit_and_Focused_Logo.jpg?width=640&name=Fit_and_Focused_Logo.jpg "Fit_and_Focused_Logo.jpg")](https://www.fitandfocused.org/) [** ** ](https://www.facebook.com/befitandfocused/) [** ** ](https://twitter.com/BeFitandFocused) [** ** ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinaodea) Littleton, MA 01460 karthurodea@gmail.com
