When I run outside-I step outside the door, put the GPS unit on and go.
When I run inside, I put the treadmill down, stand over it, start it and go.

I live in a townhouse and mine start and end on weekdays right at my front door as soon as I pass the backend of my Honda CR-V.

:( I know I should warm up first. The only time I do warm up is a slower run before speed work. Almost always, though, I'm out the door and running. I do stretch after running...if I'm not in a hurry to get somewhere.

Yeah, I start right at the bottom of the driveway and finish it at the top of my driveway. I don't stretch before or after running, does that improve results?

I find it helps a lot. Generally the first mile or two I feel stiff and somewhat uncomfortable because I'm still warming up. Stretching helps to reduce that time/distance for me. Runs just feel better with stretching. I don't really stretch a lot after, but it helps from muscles getting really tight.

I usually walk "briskly" for 4 minutes, a quick stretch and then off. If I don't do any of the above my run is usually not as good. I run in the morning and it takes that long to wake up sometimes. :D

Mine starts at the end of the driveway and finishes there too. If I'm at the gym it starts right outsidfe the front door and finishes there too. :wiggle:
I stretch after and sometimes before.

Most of my runs are in the county parks around here, or along a commuter train line, so they start in the parking lot.

When I'm running 5k I always run half a kilometer (around my block) at a slow pace before starting. When I go for my 10k run the first 2 minutes of the run I run at a slower pace, and just start at the bottom of my driveway.

My run (a warmup for most of you) starts after a five minute warmup walk. When I ran during lunch break at my last job, I would walk until the GPS oriented itself. I like to walk another fifteen or twenty minutes after a run, if I have the time. Only the run portion is counted in my log.

A like running in parks. On weekdays I take a 5 minute drive to a great park nearby, in the weekends a drive a bit longer for another nice park.
