Mileage

Have you ever gone out for a run or a nice walk and then wondered how far did you go? My friend Kathryn introduced me to this website and I LOVE it! It is called mapmyrun.com you just enter your starting address or your zip code and you can mark your run and find out how far you went or make a run that you want to do. Sometimes when I go for a jog I like to be a little crazy and just run, I will go on new roads with no plan in mind! This website is great because afterwards instead of hopping on scootaloha and trying to drive the route and calculate my miles I can just get on line and find out. Also if you have a plan of how many miles you want to run you can map your own course beforehand and this way you won't give up too early. You'd be surprised the distance from one place to another. It usually takes me about ten to fifteen minutes to drive from my house to my parents. I figured if I ran to my mom's it would be about six or seven miles... I was wong, it's less than four, kind of a bummer but I am glad I can map my run so I can stick to my training in this beautiful weather we have been having!
