Map My Run

I decided to not go to the gym today and try a run outside. I found a route on map my run that was 1.5 miles.



It was a good start to running and exercising outside. I walked a couple minutes for a warm up and walked for a cool down. I only did a little bit of stretching pre-run, which was a mistake because my left knee started to hurt. I got a side cramp at the end, but I think that is because I had a snack a little bit before the run and plus running outside is different than running inside on the treadmill. It felt great though, I got to run on all different terrains and felt like an athlete. I even saw a great blue heron on the trail. So beautiful and better than staring at the TV at the gym.
