So...I kind of feel embarrassed

Okay I've always heard of people who run in their neighborhoods.  I want to run but I obviously can't do it in my house but I don't like when people watch me work out so I'm not sure if I can find the courage to start running.  Any suggestions?

Go to a neighborhood high school and start to run on the track. 

go to www.mapmyrun.com and look at runs in your area - you only have to be registered to log your runs but you can look at the runs that have been registered.

Find trails to run on - it is a lower stress on your body.

Good Luck.
