Runner’s diary, Tuesday

Dow Jones 5
Find more Runs in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey
Here is a new toy I found on the Web — alerted to it by NY Times Health Writer Gina Kolata, whom I interviewed for a story on running taht will run in our over-50 magazine. The mapping tool can be found at http://www.mapmyrun.com/.

It allows you to map out and save your running routes, calculating mileage for you while giving you a chance to experiment without being out there in the hot sun. It is quite cool. I’ll try and post occasional maps with my running posts in the future.

Today’s map shows the route I ran Monday and today — a little over five miles. I am without a GPS right now, so I have no idea what my time is, but that maybe to the good. I’ll see how it goes for a while.
