There's this awesome website called Map My Run, which lets you map out your route, plan workouts, import your workouts from a device, track your progress and heaps of other cool stuff. You can find all sorts of routes, not just for running but also for cycling and walking etc. There's even a community so you can hook up with like-minded people.
In the interest of sharing, I've made my workouts public! Here's today's workout:

As you can see it's not much to shout about, but hey, I'll get there!
For more inspiration, check out Ben Does Life. This dude went from being 358 pounds and depressed, to losing 120 pounds and running marathons. If he can do it...
P.S. Just discovered that there are (obviously) a HEAP of websites dedicated to running of all sorts. The competitive ones look a bit scary! I'm not even going to try and read through all that serious stuff at this stage, as I feel that it will take the fun out of running for me.
