2 Cool Sites for Runners

So, I am not much of a runner, but I know people who run so I routinely get exposed to cool tools that are used by these folks. The first was introduced to me by Kelly. It's called "Map My Run," and allows you to map out the course you plan to run in your neighborhood and tells you how long the distance is going to be. Its cool because you can create the route, turn-by-turn rather than just inputting a start and finish and letting the computer figure out the best route, this way if you want to follow a winding path on your run you can make an accurate route.

The other tool I came across while reading the Red Eye on the train this morning. Its called jogtunes.com. This site allows you to coordinate your songs on your mp3 player to match the pace of your workout. It helps you calculate your workout pace in beats-per-minute so you can choose the best tracks to get you through your run.

With cool stuff like this, it almost makes me want to get into running. Yeah, right, almost :P
