Mapmyrun.com

For those of you not familiar with mapmyrun.com, you have to check it out! It is a great site that lets you map out runs anywhere you want and tells you the mileage of the run. You can also search the public run forum for great trails and routes that people in your neighborhood have created. Here is a map of my run today at Blue Jacket Park, it's right next to Baldwin Park.



This was a great trail, we did 4 loops today, making 6 miles. I think this will be my new spot for evening runs, as it is well lit with lamp posts all along the way. I have been running at a few spots over the past few weeks in the evening that are not well lit and I have not felt safe. This route is really nice.

You can also log your training on mapmyrun.com, which is how i keep track of how many miles i run, which routes i run, and any other activites (cross training, abs) that I do during the week. It's free, so check it out, you will love it!
