    Do you know how far you went?

    If you ran out side you could find out how many miles you went and then figure out you minutes per mile. Usually a 10min mile is like 6mph.

    First, use http://www.mapmyrun.com to map out your path. Carry a stop watch to log your time. When you get home, put your time into mapmyrun's website and it will tell you how fast you ran and log all your time and distances for the month as well as calories burned. I use it a lot!

    Time/distance = speed

    or

    Get a GPS of some type that tracks that. HRMs, pedometers, and smartphone apps are the most common.

    yeah, there is a website "map my run" and you can map out where you ran and it will tell you how far you went in those 90 minutes. And for next time, if you have a smart phone, the nike ap has a GPS so you can just hit "start workout" and it tracks you, when you hit "end workout" it tells you how far, how fast, and it keeps track.

    If you don't know the distance, you can go to mapmyrun.com and plot your run. That will give you distance. Coolrunning.com has a pace calculator.

    If you have a smartphone (i.e., iPhone, Android or Windows) you can track all your stats easily and for FREE using the RunKeeper phone app. They make an app for each phone that tracks all your stats (distance, duration, avg pace, avg speed, calories burned) automatically using the phone's GPS and the app is really quick and easy to use. It even talks to you (use earphones), letting you know how long and how far you've run every 5 minutes or however often you set it to tell you. It can also track walking and cycling using the GPS and you can log the distance and duration for other exercises (swimming, skating, treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike, etc.) manually and it will calculate the other stats for you.

    It automatically syncs your online account (which is also FREE) and your phone app each time you open the app or log on to your account. This app is awesome and I recommend it to anyone who is serious about tracking their workouts or training for events.

    You can check out the apps here: http://runkeeper.com/apps/activity-tracking

    To see an example of the tracking, you can view my activities here: http://runkeeper.com/user/urbanmasala/activity/59740731

    Hope this helps. ;-)
