MapMyRun is also good, but I prefer Gmaps Pedometer as it will follow the roads rather than just drawing straight lines. The couch to 5k program is a great one for anyone looking for motivation to get moving again as it provides realistic daily goals which will result in being able to run 5k nonstop http://www.c25k.com/ Good luck with your goal of becoming a triangle shape :) This is a great site for planning runs/ walks.

That's a downer but the site's pretty good! Just found out that I am not losing as many calories as I thought trudging along every evening. That’s a downer but the site’s pretty good!

I have been planning to get started walking again, and I have tons of options given my gridlike community. This will help me gauge how far I need to walk to get in a few miles. Thanks! This is great!

The point is, I can plan several different routes with the same distance in about 5 minutes, instead of driving around. I can also plan ahead for walks while I'm on a trip. And yet, here you are!

Weird how Pedometer and Pedophile have the same beginnings. But nonetheless, that's the correct word. Yeah, I know. Weird how Pedometer and Pedophile have the same beginnings.

Find an excuse to spend even more time sitting down in front of the computer planning your life; now your walking route. Your old method of just driving (or maybe better = riding bike?) out somewhere and starting to walk was better. More adventure that way. Great idea!
