Run Matt, Run!

Am loving this site (thanks Andy for the pointer).

Like many a hopeful, I've started jogging to remove the Christmas spread and I'm finding a good way of motivating myself is to introduce new gimmicks each week to tempt me out into the cold. First it was new clothes, then a new mp3 player, now its maprunner. This site allows you to look at jogging routes that others have made, and add your own. Unfortunately at the moment there are no Southampton routes near me, however the google maps mashup that tells me how far I'm running is a real bonus, so I'll be trying to log all my routes on here from now on.






(Note: I'm saving the new trainers gimmick for when my motivation is really low)

Read your post about Manchester as per your post on my blog this morning and then skipped on down. Speaking as an athletics coach, you've picked the best sport for fitness. Enjoy! (You know it's inevitable that you'll end up doing a 10k race?):-)
