How far did you really run?

The following link has been around for a while but may not have gotten enough attention. It is an off-shoot of the new google mapping technologies that lets you plot and measure your favorite running routes using the latest in satelite and GPS technology.

It's not really obvious how to use this.
You need to center the map on Wisconsin by double clicking and then zooming in on Shorewood. Once you have the area you need posted, hit the start mapping button; then double click on each point on the map that you want to mark. The rest is automatic.

You can see an example here: http://tinyurl.com/8jdl6

Enjoy!
