Places to Run/Jog with Dog?

Can anyone recommend some good places in the 40/42 or Clayton areas to go for a run/jog with a dog? My girlfriend is looking for some new places once it warms up a little.

I told her the greenway on the Neuse but she said it was sketchy the one time she went there last summer. Any parts better or worse there?

 

Lake Benson is perfect. May be too far depending on where you live though.

 

Not too far, I guess that's about the longest trail system of any park in the area? Since you can cross over to White Deer Park as well.

 

And there is a half mile stub in White Deer Park that runs out to Timber Dr.
