I completed a 4.5 mile run today so I suppose I'm progressing nicely. I live in a fairly urban environment so my runs typically take place in neighborhoods or side streets and I mostly stick to using the sidewalk. The website
MapMyRun.com has been a great resource for mapping and planning my runs. If you are interested in starting a running routine I highly suggest it. Signing up is free and you can use the map feature to actually plan/map your runs using interactive controls.
MapMyRun will then show you the mileage, elevation gains, and will even display a nice topographical map which you can use to prepare for those challenging hills. The features take a little getting used to but once you get the hang of it the end result is well worth it.
I've been asked by a few people to share my running plan so here it is. This is the running plan supplied to me by the event organizers and it seems straight forward. I'm on week five now and looking forward to the 5 mile run on Saturday.
Take care of each other!
