Training Aid

My friend Sharyn put me on to a great website called Map My Run a while ago and I've been fossicking around the site today.

It looks really good: it uses google maps to enable a person to set (and save) their favourite walks, hikes and runs and provides the user with data such as distance, kilojoules burned, and so on. It's free to sign up and once you do that you get all the little perks.

Best part of it is that the website also does all sorts of other 'Map My...' ideas, the best one for me being Map My Fitness. This enables me to use a calender that shows me how my gym workouts, runs, and walks are going; it tracks my daily weight, my heartrate, the kilojoules that I have burned through exercise, and even my sleep quality and mental state.

It's pretty neat. Hopefully I can use this to get a good overview on how well my fitness regime is working for me.
