Things I Love Today: Running Routes

Today I discovered a fabulous little tool called Walk Jog Run. It's a webiste that allows you to type in your zipcode and locate walking/jogging/running routes in your area. Routes are sorted according to distance and are displayed on... a google map! It even calculates the estimated time it will take you to run the mapped distance (you put in your estimated speed) AND tells you how many calories you will burn based on weight and age. You can create an account to keep track of all of your routes and runs. This will make training for my half-marathon a lot easier. If only it would merge with nikerunning.com, life would be perfect.
