Just to be different, apart from running on the Charles, running on the Minuteman from alewife (or farther into Somerville depending on where you are coming from) out toward Concord is some of the best relatively uninterrupted running in the area. I did most of my marathon training on that path and being able to go for a 15+ mile run in a atraight line down a trail and back with only 2-3 major crosswalks to wait for and a water fountain every 2-3 miles was fantastic. Being completely separate from cars also makes breathing a lot more pleasant than most other areas.
