Ithaca in upstate New York is a city on Cayuga Lake, in New York’s Finger Lakes region. 
It’s home to Cornell University, founded in 1865. The city of Ithaca including the immense complex of Cornell university is a very (to say the least) scenic and pretty area.
If you like old buildings and nature then Ithaca is THE place to run. 

During my speed course at Cornell university, I went for a long run: a 63-mile (100 km) ultra, followed by half a marathon the following day. 
I was surprised by the beauty of the state. Really, the 63-mile run wasn’t boring at all. I enjoyed every mile of it, looking at the architecture, the waterfalls and the lakes.
Definitely recommendable, although it’s not easy to run 63-miles without help; the only thing I carried was a small hydration pack – therefore I had to stop several times at small gas stations to buy bananas and candy bars.

What an achievement….after the 63-mile (100km) run, I woke up early, so happy that I finished this long run, that I went out for another run, a 13.1 mile (21.1 km) run.
