Now I wouldn't call myself an athlete but I do enjoy running. As a "FLAT-FOOTED" runner (jogger) I'm more into distance than into speed. So slowly I've been making short term goals to improve my ability keep up with my boyfriend, a baseball player.
As much as I enjoy the treadmill when I'm at the gym, I would much rather go outside and see different scenery every once in while! Unfortunately for me, I live about 40 mins from downtown Atlanta in the country, so seeing roadkill is highly likely. And once I see a sightly for any sort of dead animal on the side of the road, I'm quick to run back into my house.

Anyways...
Today, I went out for a run about 8:30am once the elementary schoolbuses have left the neighborhood. I enjoy running more around 8-9 am or 6-7pm, whenever the sun isn't so harsh during the summer.
A great tool I've been using for 4+ years is mapmyrun.com
If your not familiar with the website, you literally type in your address therefore a map appears of your locations, that way its easy for you to figure out different routes in your area to run. Also, your able to click your start and finish points and the site calculates your distance, which for me is perfect!
If you're a very active running, you can join and start logging in your performance and see your improvements!
