I plan to get started with weekly postings at least every Sunday or Monday, so here goes…

My long time friend and master of all of the physical training arts, pointed me to this great site for runners. It’s called Map My Run. It takes great advantage of google maps, to let you map out your exact running route. You simple click on your starting location, then map out all the intersections and points along the route. It gives you milepoints, total distance which is more acurate than you’d expect, and even allows you to put rest stops, bathroom stops, and water fountains in there. Once you’re done you can share your routes with friends.

I mapped out my very own battery park loop which is an 8.55 mile route. I average about 1:03 to 1:05 for this route but I’m pushing to get under 60 minutes. We’ll see.
