Google Earth is cool

I ran 400 miles this year and have lost just a few pounds. Last year I ran 275 miles and lost over 70 pounds. Eating has not changed much either. But it's ok!!!! I am happy as can be with the new me. Look at the plot of my favorite run below. I used iphone gps data with google earth to make it.

I have fun with Google Earth too, the Garmin Training Center software can export your GPS co-ordinates and give you a great representation of you run, bike ride etc.

eg, here's a half marathon from last May

That is cool. I suppose you know that if you right click on your path that you can pull up the elevation profile. I'd love to see the one for the your course.

That little chunk at the end looks like rock climbing...

It looks worse than it really was, the low section is a bridge crossing the river back into Ottawa then coming up to Sussex Dr (total elevation gain is only about 20m but the scale compresses it)
