I didn't have a chance to blog my run from Saturday, but this is my view at the end of my runs at Blackhawk. I normally don't bring my phone out there, so I thought I would make use of it and take a picture of what I see running. I had my phone out there because I downloaded a new app that tracks your steps and wanted to try it. It worked alright, but then it stops counting your steps when your phone goes into lock mode. Supposedly it tracked a little over 6,000 steps, but who knows. Honestly, I think I did more then that because that thing kept going into lock mode. It's really annoying to me to have something in my hand while running. The only thing I've ever been comfortable running with in my hand is a rosary, but I lost my mini rosary.

See... I told you I need new shoes. The first part of my run was actually achy! That's the first my knees actually felt old and my feet were just straight up hurting. There were many times that I just wanted to stop... but I made myself slow down my pace and keep running. It doesn't really matter how fast you're going, unless of course you're running to race, but I just didn't want to walk. Finishing takes a lot longer when you're walking, it's better to just decrease your pace and continue with a light jog. Overall it was good run.

I found this website called mapmywalk.com. OMG it's awesome!! That's the first running site I've found that let's you create running tracks for yourself. So now I have an idea of how many miles the runs I do around the neighborhood instead of estimating it by driving the path! =) It's pretty cool. It uses a satellite map and you can actually your house. In fact, it even has our old red truck on there! Runners, bikers, walkers, hikers, whatever you need tracked... go check it out!! =)
