    I use runningmap.com to map and print my routes. There is another site called map my run as well.

    We're lucky where we have a lot of paths around our house. I usually don't know where I'm going until I head out. :ohwell:

    Speaking of not knowing where you're going, I am so directionally challenged that I got lost and ran 5 miles one day when I was out for a leisurely 3 mile run.:laugh:

    I'm the same way whenever I travel outside of Colorado. Least I know the mountains are west & the rest kinda fall into place. :laugh:

    Hey y'all. I've got a stubborn 2 year old not napping today. Not sure what her issue is......

    Anyway, through her crying, I ran my 5 miles. I was hauling. I guess I better get in there and try to figure out something.....

    Stay safe everyone.

    Happy trails.

    HAHAHAHAHA! Kechie I have done the same thing. I am so glad that someone else has done a long run, not necessairly from wanting to but from the mistake of getting lost!

    :flowerforyou: Thank you for publicly admitting it! I was so embarrassed. :embarassed: Why does it feel so much better to know you are not alone?

    Wow Kechie thanks for sharing how you started. I just assumed that you had been seriously running for years considering how long you run now.

    I do feel pretty safe jogging in my neighborhood. Many people look weird here :laugh: but there are always people around, even at 5 am. I definitely need my headphones but I turn the volume way down when approaching a street and wear light clothing. I also run on the sidewalk against the flow of traffic.

    Great tip! I too always always run against the flow of traffic. However, I see people all of the time running with their backs to traffic.:noway:

    Got in a 6 mile run today and felt really good.

    Kechie, thanks for the safety reminder--your experience sounds scary! I never run the same route, but try to stick to well-traveled areas. I also like the idea of printing out a running route. I'll have to look at those websites you suggested!
