MapMyRun.com...

In an attempt to keep from replacing my 3 year old Garmin ForeRunner 201, I've been looking for a way to keep track of my runs (time/distance/etc) online.  In a recommendation from Gene, I checked out MapMyRun.com.  It's a great program that I highly recommend.  Highlights:


1) Free membership
2) Able to use satellite imagery to "map" routes
3) Program provides distance, allowing me to use my stopwatch
4) Has a great workout log that allows tracking more than runs
5) An app uses the GPS in your phone to put together maps of your runs (much quicker than building it yourself).  If you are like me and don't like to have your phone track you, you can turn the feature on and off.


I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and is enjoying the holidays.
