If you are not familiar with www.favoriterun.com/ go and check it out. FAVORITE RUN makes it easy to map running routes before you leave your house. Now you can plan ahead to create the perfect route for the distance you need to run. Once you've created your route, you can share your route with your friends or running group. And when you're done running your route, you can use FAVORITE RUN to enter your run into your personal activity log. Your activity log allows you to track your pace, distance, and time you've run. Using FAVORITE RUN is easy - there is no special software you need to install. Simply login, click-around on a map, and your running route is displayed along with the distance of the route. Along with mapping your running routes and keeping an activity log, you can use FAVORITE RUN to shop for new running gear, read running articles and tips, and find other runners in your area. It's all simple and easy to do!

Great site. There is also GMap-Pedometer. No login required. You can save routes. I have all of my favorites saved. Never use your car to measure a route again! Of course that's hard to do anyway at Sweetwater and Kennesaw Mtn ;D

Nice site! I use gmap-pedometer. I haven't saved any of my runs though. I travel every week so use it alot on the road. I put in the address of the hotel I'm staying in and check out the roads around the hotel for the best running area. You can even switch to a satellite view so you can see a photo of the area. This helps me figure out if I'm headed towards an industrial area or if it is neighborhood streets.

I use gmap-pedometer as well. One interesting element to play with: Save your route and it will be something like, www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=663964 {one of my eight milers} now mess with the numbrs at the end of the web address and you'll stumble upon routes save before you. People from all over the world use this tool and it's cool to see who's mapping what... Cheers - can't wait for tomorrow, can't wait for tomorrow, can't wait for tomorrow, can't wait for tomorrow
