Training tool: Pedometer

When my little brother was here in January, he found this tool online to track how far he walked each day while exploring San Francisco. I've been using to track mileage, and get an idea of the elevation changes around my neighborhood. (Hills around Dolores Park - I shake my fist at you! But, really, you're good for me. I still don't have to like you.)

This pedometer takes a little getting used to. It basically calculates point-to-point. Enter your starting address, zoom in (I suggest zoom 15 or 16), and start recording. Double click your starting point, and then double click each time you make a turn. I like to use the Elevation Large link to make myself feel better about my hill work. :)
