Let me make this perfectly clear, I don't run unless someone is chasing me with a machete. But this groovy Web site (referred to me by a BoomerGirl reader today - thanks, Fran!) is just as useful for outdoor walkers who are always wondering how far we roam.
MapMyRun makes it super-simple to chart a course through the neighborhood, calculate the total distance, and even share your route with a friend. The screen grab posted above is my route for a short, after-dinner stroll which, I'm delighted to find out, is about a mile in length.
I realize you can achieve the same result with the trip odometer in your car, but think of the precious gas you'll waste. And this is so much more fun!

Thank you for this wonderful sight! I have mapped out all my routes and ones I want to try. It is great.
