There are a lot of running apps out there with many associated with brands like Nike, Asics, and Under Armour. They can track your run path, mile splits, and elevation, and even have special features like running plans and playlists. The easiest way to track your runs is with the help of a running app. I don't need to get too scientific, but I do get motivated by seeing my mile splits get lower over time or watching my mileage climb because it’s physical proof that I’m improving.

One of my favorite ways to do this is by tracking my data. Nowadays, I can’t even imagine running when it’s colder than 50 degrees, let alone going for more than a few miles.īut now that it’s finally spring, I’ve decided to hit the pavement, throw on my favorite sneakers and wireless headphones, and try to get into this whole running thing again. You could find me out there nearly every day in rain, snow, or shine, running multiple miles and even getting a couple of half marathons under my belt.

Back in high school, I was an avid runner.
