" On cold, rainy days, a treadmill might seem like a godsend, but running outside on a nice day makes a workout feel much more refreshing. Whether you live in the city, country or suburbs, the three websites below make jogging outdoors easy by letting you plan new routes and chart the miles you&amp;#039;ve already run. While each site has unique features, all three cater to those who crave adventure during their workout. So why not try mapping a new path? You may find yourself parting ways with your treadmill\u2014even on rainy days.    MapMyRun.com This website is easy for the casual jogger to use, but also encourages you to go for the gold with a homepage that&amp;#039;s full of links to local running events and training groups. Map My Run makes it easy to take your daily exercise a step further, allowing you to craft your personal training plan online. For a first-timer, using Map My Run is super-simple. The middle of the homepage has three options: &amp;quot;Start Mapping,&amp;quot; which brings up a map of your area, &amp;quot;Find a Run,&amp;quot; which lists dozens of popular local routes, and &amp;quot;Log Training,&amp;quot; where you can manage a calendar of your workouts. Add a profile to Map My Run to share inspirational stories or swap favorite running routes. An account is free, but upgrading to a premium account ($19.99 a month) removes ads and gives you access to extra features.    WalkJogRun.net This site is refreshingly simple; the homepage is a Google map with a sidebar that invites you to type in your starting address and the amount of miles you&amp;#039;re willing to run. Once you do that, the site finds as many as 30 of the running routes most recently added by other members. Clicking on each route reveals a wealth of information, including how long the run should take, how much the elevation changes, where the jogger&amp;#039;s original destination was and whether the route is on public or private land. Also, for $10 a month, Walk Jog Run allows organizations such as businesses, charities or racing groups to form their own group pages, so friends and family can share routes and communicate with each other online.   RunningMap.com On your first visit to Running Map, the site will center your current location on an easy-to-read street, satellite or hybrid map. Much like the two sites above, Running Map lets you type in the distance you want to go and shows you possible routes and destinations. Unique features include an icon where you can add a point of interest to a route and an option to upload photos of routes you&amp;#039;ve just run. Running Map also shows levels of elevation and lets you print your mapped-out routes. Better yet, Running Map has a pedometer iPhone App, so you can easily keep track of your miles.
