Very timely post indeed. I've been anxiously awaiting the big snow melt in the city, since I don't like running in the ice & snow. The snow is finally all gone, and I've been getting out walking & running more. I'm trying to get out at least once a week, in combination with some other exercise another time a week.

One site I use is www.mapmyrun.com, as that helps me, you guessed it, map my run. I don't always follow the same route every time, as I like exploring my neighbourhood, but I like to know how far I've run. It's especially helpful if I'm walking around as well.

While I don't necessarily need the "goal" of training for a 5k run or anything, I just like the fact that I get out of the house, and enjoy the nice weather and sunshine. I use my runs as a stress reliever, so going for a quick jog after work is very helpful to me.

Kudos to all of us for getting off our duffs and moving again.
