gmap pedometer

As you know, i'm training right now for a 10k run. Today a colleague pointed me to a cool online pedometer. It's really quite clever. Well, I say it's clever, but it does as it's told really. I guess the geek that developed it, and the googleguys are pretty clever too.

Anyway, go look at it. You basically find somewhere you have run/walked or whatever, start recording then double click along the route you took. You can even select the return route thing, if you ran the same way back, and it calculates the distance, in miles or euros. You can also click on something to show how far up or down you went too. I like it. A lot.

  1. According to that wee tool, if I ran to the pub and back, I'd burn off 800 calories. Of course if I had 4 pints in the pub, I'd gain 800 calories.

    So if I sit on my arse at home watching telly instead of running to the pub, necking 4 pints, and running back home - I'm actually no worse off.

    Guess which option I'll be exercising (or indeed not exercising) tonight...
