More help for an East coast librul lost on the left coast

I have two personal objectives for the next two days:

1.) Get a decent cut (thanks brothers)

2.) Get a good scenic 3-4 mile run in. Yes, I'm an amateur when it comes to this. Still, where should I go? Gonna google around some, obviously, but I find personal testimony to be the best way.
