Do you Jog?
So do you jog? If you do jog or bike or walk or do something physical that envolves distance and you wanting to know what the distance is you might want to check out these two useful websites:
Gmaps pedometer
Walkjogrun
Both work pretty well (although I had some small annoyances with Gmaps pedometer) but the cool think about walkjogrun is that you can check out other routes saved by people in your area. So maybe someone out there is covering a similar distance to what you cover but they have a totally kick-ass route, you might stumble upon that and realize what a fool you've been this whole time.
I'm still trying to figure out the best route for me but I was able to calculate that I covered 10.3 km yesterday which makes me very happy. Once I figure out a cool route I'll post the link to it here. If you jog and have a cool route set it up on walkjogrun and post it here, I'm interested!

mark, have you ever tried running up past Casa Loma and then following the beltline trail to the east?

that's the best quick link I can find for it.

Ahh cool route there Jimmy! I was wondering which direction you were going to go in. After my next jog which should occur in a few days (difficult becuase of the parents being here) I'll record my route and show yas all.
Chris - Hmm that seems interesting, I think I might head north next time I go for a jog instead of heading south like I normally do. And yes I did buy another pair of double layer socks, the darn things just work so well!

I finally checked it out - works pretty well. And like Mista Z states I now know how far I am going.
Here is my "short route" (ideally twice a week) and my "long(er) route" (once a week). I say ideally because I really have fallen off the ol' running wagon as of late, although since it was cooler this week I started again. Well, I went on Monday and have good intentions for the rest of the week. Thanks for sharing the link.
