Any runners in the crowd? Power walkers? Straight up leisurely strollers? Well I’m guessing if you haven’t already discovered the wonder that is gmap-pedometer.com, you’re sure to fall in love soon. The site is a hack of google maps that allows you track running or walking routes to find the distance and calories burned. First, you simply enter a ZIP code to zoom into a specific area. Click “start recording” on the left hand side of the screen, then double click at your starting point on the map. Click points along your route wherever you turn, and watch as the site calculates your distance. It’s great for mapping running workouts or training for races. For another gauge on a workout, click on the calorie counter and get a guesstimate as to how many you burned. -Erica P.
