ONLINE Running Resources
MapMyRun - This is a site where you can easily plot maps of where you’ve run, find various runs / running trails in your area, keep track of your runs including distances, and even calculate how many calories you’ve burned on one run versus another. Very useful!
G-Maps Pedometer - This is similar to MapMyRun, but with a familiar Google Maps interface
Nike+ - This is a hugely helpful running tool and website! Requires the Nike+ shoe pod (around $40) and compatible iPod, and measures your pace and distance, which you can then track online. Amazing!
