Noah blogged about a new Google Map tool that acts like a pedometer...sort of. I'm having a lot of fun tracing my walking routes and seeing how much ground I'm covering. Did you know that it's about 2 miles from Queen Bee's house to my mom's?
Drawbacks are:
- how incredibly time consuming it is to get to your chosen part of the country
- if you're walking over something grassy, like a park, you can't go along the paths, really, it just makes a line as the crow flies
Fun stuff:
- Did you know I walk about 3 miles a day just to and from the subway?
- You can erase just the last leg so if you make a mistake you don't have to start over from scratch
Go try it out, see how long your driveway is...or something.

It says the triangle I walk is about three miles. It doesn't feel that long to me - I'll clock it in my car and see how close it is...

If you have a chance, compare and contrast...
JRH's version clocks things in about a third less than the one Noah linked to.
