On another note, here's the latest running gadget I've been looking at: A Garmin GPS Running Watch http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16858108203 It tells you how far you've been, your 1 mile pace, and it'll even give you directions back to your starting point.

Both are lovely! Congrats on a good run and well wishes that they just keep getting better!

I love it. I ran a 10k at the end of March in 54:25. I'd love to build up to a marathon, but I just don't have the time right now. So far, 7 miles is as far as I've gone. My favorite running website: <a href="http://www.mapmyrun.com" rel="nofollow">Map My Run</a>. It lets you use a Google Maps interface to draw out a running route and measure the distance. It also has a great training log where you put in a total time and number of laps for one of these routes, and it gives you calories burned and 1 mile pace.
