my conclusion from this is that a lot of people in Brookline and Allston need to buy "Great Runs in Brookline"[1]. No affiliation on my part, just the knowledge that book put me onto a lot of great running routes that aren't covered very well at all by these Strava wearers. There is more to the area than Beacon St, Comm Ave, and the Chestnut Hill Reservoir.
