or to search for nearby ones? I live in an apartment complex with no park nearby or anything really. I was wondering if anyone knew of an app or website where you can make, create, or search for a
Route to walk/run?

Thanks so much

    I like this website. You can either follow sidewalks or even cut across things.

    If you have an android or iphone you can use RunKeeper to do it to.

    I've lived in apartment/condo complexes and here's what I'd suggest:
    Is there a store within a mile of you? Walking to do your errands will save you money AND you'll burn extra calories carrying back! I used to walk to do my groceries. Yes, I had to go shopping twice/week to make sure I got my perishables and my non perishables. Yes, that means I carried 15 PLUS pounds home IN MY OWN CLOTH BAGS! It felt good to be so GREEN friendly too! Saved gas, saved plastic/paper, saved MONEY, got a work out! (And trust me, when you're carrying your own groceries back, you're far less likely to buy ANYTHING you don't need!) So now, if something is about 3 miles round trip, I know I can hoof it!

    Is there a place where you can do loops? The complex I'm living in now is .9 miles around (according to my car), so I know I can do 3 laps and 1 block to hit a 5 k mark. It's safe and inspires my neighbors to get moving too! :)
