Hi DW Runners!

How is your spring going? Training? Racing? The good, the bad and the ugly?

Let us know how you're doing these days!

I usually run a loop around my neighborhood, which is about 1.5 mi. I want to increase my distance though, and while I don't mind doing a double-loop, I'm up for a change of scenery. Any recommendations for websites that can help w/ route-planning?

Also, I'm trying to decide if I want to do a 5K this summer (I did one last summer) or train for a longer distance run.

Have you tried Gmap pedometer? It's not fancy, but it's really handy.

http://www.mapmyrun.com is a popular one!

You can certainly do both a 5K and a longer distance race! If you run more and train for a longer race, your 5K time will improve.
