Running Routes Websites

You can map out a running route and it will tell you the distance - using Google maps. Apparently you can save and share runs as well.

http://www.usatf.org/routes/

Go to the link and on the search page, enter "Sq. Hill" for the location and "Pittsburgh" for the city. The regular Wednesday/ Friday run is called the "East End Runners Wed Fri Loop" - it should be the only one that comes up with those search terms.

Here are two more to try out:

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/

These sites should also be good for mapping out walking routes when you are visiting a new place. I get frustrated with the mapping sites geared to cars that will not let you go the wrong way on a 1-way street :-)
