Venice- can I keep up my jogging there? restaurant recommendations?
We are renting an apt in Venice in early Oct on the Grand Canal not far from Church of Maria dei Frari, (San Polo) and would appreciate restaurant recommendations, and also are there any areas to jog/run for a quick early morning or late afternoon run (1-2 miles) - training for a 5k race, and hate not to do a little running while away! thanks

You can pretty much jog anywhere not in the most tourist-impacted areas of the city--especially since you won't be there at the height of the tourist season. Even if you are staying in one of those areas, you can walk just a few blocks to get out of the most crowded areas.

Depending on where you're staying:
= Patrick's suggestion of the Giudecca canal, along the Zattere if staying in Dorsoduro.
= For San Marco or Castello, try in the far eastern edge along the rivas toward the public gardens.
= For northern Castello or Cannaregio, go north to the Fondamenta Nuove.
All these possibilities are along the edges of Venice, where you'll fuind the widest, straightest walkways.

We (husband and I) jogged along the Zattere every morning when we were there. Once we turned up a side canal for a longer run and different views, and quickly found ourselves "lost". We had to ask diretions to get back, but it was fun.
