If you are a runner, you know that running an amazing route can change your entire run. If you are bored, a one mile run can feel like a million mile run. You need a goal, some good scenery and some kick ass music to get through a jog or run. And a long run? Forget it! You need to pull out all stops to keep you going when you are running long distance.

You will see from this article that San Francisco native Lenny Maughan was born to run. Using the city of San Francisco as his canvas, he would run routes that would draw pictures of anything from Frida Kahlo to a hand with chopsticks, to the arm of Rosie The Riveter. His runs are works of art and it was no easy feat. Here are some of his amazing routes that will make your little loop look like nothing at all.
