By the way if anyone wants a running partner. I'll be wearing a red England top and red running shorts with a celtic design on the right thigh. feel free to say hi.
I dont use the "calorie counter" part of the Gmaps site (that's not why I run) but the ablitity to plot out your map and see the distances is superb. This has helped me greatly to plot out new route nearly every day. It's nice taking in all new scenery AND know the distance you're covering is manageable and within your training program.
