There is a circular trail / track - around the reservoir - which is a great way to jog in Central park without having to worry about navigating your way or getting lost :)
The easiest place to enter from the apt - is to enter the park at the W 90th street entrance, and walk directly east toward the track.
You'll enjoy views of the Midtown skyline, on the north side of the track, and both the UWS and UES.
