Track your run!

Running can be lots of fun, if you start out right. If you are not accustomed to running for long, start out slow. Don't be hesitant to start out walking for 30-60 minutes a day and work your way up to jogging and running. The health benefits of running are so great that you don't want to hinder your efforts by getting discouraged.
I was recently informed of an awesome website where you can track a jog/run that you went on and see how many miles it is! This is a great way to track your progress and see how you're doing. The website, mapmyrun also has many other valuable resources as you develop your running workout.
