I would like to take this space to rep a new favorite website of mine. Mapmyrun.com is awesome! I signed up for an account a while ago and then didnt think anything of it, didnt act on it or anything. Yesterday I decided in my boredom to log on and… MAP MY RUN!! It worked, it worked wonderfully. There are so many different options for a person to choose from and its not only for runners. Any activity where you would like to track distance, time, calories, etc. I think you can even do elevation changes and you can definitely track how many miles you log on the equipment you use. That is a really neat feature because in the case of my running, I can figure out exactly when I hit that 500 mile mark and begin to think about retiring my shoes. It even gives me a cost per mile dividing the price i paid for my shoes by the amount of mileage I have used them for. I bought a new pair of shoes and I think that was the reason I decided to use the website. So now I am at 14 dollars per mile but just wait, haha. It was not long ago when google earth was the only software I could find to actually create my customized route online and map the distance, but now all sorts of websites do it and its such a good tool. Get on mapmyrun.com and look up some routes around your house, you might just find your way down a road you have never seen before and you might just become a little bit of a healthier person doing it!
