I happened to stumble upon this website, mapmyrun.com or its parent site, mapmyfitness.com which well, basically helps those who wants to monitor their exercise program in a more structured way of doing so. Pretty user friendly and erm.. well it doesn’t force me to exercise, at least knowing the rough distance I am covering might help spur me on to train more. Hence, I plotted the usual running route I take around my estate to determine how far I normally cover and the shorter route is only around 2km, sheesh.. not even that of an IPPT run. Anyway, I shall use the site more.. since its pretty interesting and I can see it becoming more than just a distance estimator / route planner and could be useful for other applications…

So with that I mapped out my cycling route, as needed to go Parkway to run some errands. Distance 6km? Hmm… calories burnt?
