I got back outside today too. I hadn't ran outside since late November. But did a quick 3 around the neighborhood this morning. Sidewalks still icy so was safer in the street.

I run in the early mornings in my neighborhood. I have only been running since last summer and I am just beginning to tire of the neighborhood because I've increased to 5 miles and that means I have to loop some. But I leave when it is dark and I don't feel safe leaving my neighborhood.

Whenever school is out (I'm a teacher) or I can run on the weekends I go on a trail (but it's paved) or just on the streets outside my neighborhood and it's so great! When I travel somewhere I love to run anywhere new. Can't wait until school's out and I can leave in daylight and run to new places!

I ride bikes in a group on Saturdays and then usually a long ride with my husband on Sundays, so usually can't run on the weekends.

I mostly run early in the morning on various roads and trails around my home. I have done circuits around certain routes over the last several months on long runs, but I'm recently getting a little bored running the same 4 or 5 routes. So I have started placing some water along straight line routes from the house to run some new routes. On a good long run I can actually make it a way across town! I'm also trying to familiarize myself with some of the trails in a large park nearby to determine if I can't do long runs out there (I know I can I just don't have the water station strategy figured out).

I like to run on bike paths mainly. I occasionally do some training on treadmill during the winter or on really hot, humid days. ( Like 90 degree days ). I mainly use the treadmill for speedwork, rather than easy paced runs. Asphalt and crushed limestone is what I mainly run on. I go in neighborhoods too, but mine has steep hills and lots of traffic. I would like to move to a neighborhood that doesn't have such steep climbs ( I can handle some hills ) and less traffic.

I run around my neighborhood every morning weather permitting. I find it safer although I'll love to run at a nearby park. I'm too afraid of the "killer" since it's early morning and there aren't a lot of people up. Hopefully I find a few running buddies

I prefer running outside to running on a treadmill. On the treadmill I can talk myself out of running too easily, while outside I can get enjoy the scenery and my playlist.

My route is fairly level (there are some elevations if I want to deviate or change it up). I'm fortunate that I can start from my house and head either direction for about two and a half miles to a small park with water fountains. These are great because I can refuel with some cool water and there's a bathroom in case I need it. The route is fairly well traveled with sidewalks and greenways. I prefer this because I'm wary of strange dogs who may or may not be on a leash in neighborhoods and I also hope that if something happens, hopefully someone will stop to help me or a police car will come by on a routine basis.
