For the Runners/Walkers out there

[Worm]

The other day I went out for a run, it was so nice that I decided to take a different route than the one I've mapped out with my car for distance. Only problem was, when the run was done, I had no idea how far I'd actually ran.

I knew there had to be something available to give me a general idea of how far I'd gone. Anyhow, I found a couple sites I thought were worth sharing. It looks like they both use the same engine (Google Maps), but all-in-all very cool. Its going to save me a lot of trips in my car to map out my runs.

What a coincidence... I just found and added those to my bookmarks less than a month ago.

I also stubbled on this yahooMaps based tool with a slightly cooler interface...

Are you running any local races this year?

cool, guess im kinda lucky to have "The Linford Christie Stadium" real close to my house, i take a gentle jog there and then go for it on the track, sometimes even set up a few hurdles, the good thing is i always know exactly how far i have run, although it gets a little boring sometimes........god bless the ipod :p

running the Fifth Third Riverbank Run here in Grand Rapids (5K, not the 25K, not quite ready for that) this coming Sat. I ran in the Irish Jig on St Patrick's Day too (another 5K here in GR). Haven't planned any farther ahead. Wasn't sure I'd stick to it :)

Yeah, those guys are truly amazing, that stuff takes nerves of steel

@Worm, i did the London Marathon a few weeks back, it took me 5 1/2 hours to do the 26.2 miles.....and im still recovering :p

I just picked up another GPS (very small, fits in palm of your hand size) and this sounds like another good use. I usually use my units in the car.

Plus I can setup various routes and save them and view their details later on.

:yes
