I will never be an amazing runner. I will probably never run a race. I sweat profusely and turn beet red. However, I still run. I run cause I like it. I swear by my iPod Nano/Nike+ combo, yet I've never had a great place to map out my runs. Recently I was introduced to Walk Jog Run. It's built on Google's Maps API and is teh h0tn3ss. I can save my runs, view other public runs in the area, calculate distances, calories burned and more. Here's Walk Jog Run and here's my example on Flickr.

Awesome!
I've been so bored with my route, I think I'll try this out sometime this week!
Thanks!

Yeah I use my mapmyrun.com too – one interesting feature is the elevation chart — you should probably check it out before you run, but I end up only reviewing after I inadvertantly run a route that includes hills.
Also, for your runs, check out my new product -The Body Bottle – I'm still trying to spread the word – http://www.bodybottle.com

I've never need a map because I run on a treadmill at Equinox – but the weather's getting nicer so this may be something to check out. They do sell t-shirts in XXXL (hint hint Simmy)

Brad Smith founded Neubix, a quirky Midwestern design studio, with Ryan Sims in 2001. Now residing in great metropolis of New York City, he Captains a ship named Virb. Brad is a fan of neat rows, sad songs and sharpies. He's a lover, not a fighter and still thinks Darth Vader was framed.

The other night, I couldn't sleep, so I decided to tweak out my profile on MySpace.
I decided to make a full length short film at 3 AM, starring none other than Brad Smith.
