MapMyRun.com is a social networking community for, you guessed it, runners. Using Google Maps the website allows users to plot a route, track distance and calculate calories burned. (note: There's a nifty iMapMyRun app that can be downloaded via iTunes for you iPhone users.)
The website also allows users to record workouts and monitor progress. You can even set up email reminders to ensure you do not miss a workout and keep track of when you should replace your running shoes (how cool is that?).
One of my favorite features is that you can visualize your running route in a 3D view.
If you're a biker or hiker, you can check out MapMyRide or MapMyHike (there's also MapMyTri, MapMyWalk and MapMyMountain).
These sites are excellent tools for anyone in training that needs some extra motivation.
Train hard; stay strong.
Peace.

I use them all the time to track distances and also to plan rides. Have you seen Daily Mile? This is another great site where you can post and track all of your workouts.
I use mapmyride pretty frequently. I've recently fallen IN LOVE with riding my bike, and I'm logging miles like crazy :) well, *I* think its crazy, but I'm still a novice ;)
Thanks. This is really useful. I used to use Google maps to plan my runs and see how many km I ran. I'll check this out.
