Mine was (and still is) runkeeper - love this app!

But recently I've come across two more things that are wonderful:

1. fitbit - I know its just a pedometer, and possibly not that accurate, but its a ton of fun to see all of the steps and calories burned.
2. exercise.lbl.gov - you log your mileage as you run across the trans-america trail. I'm still in Virginia with 42 miles so far run in two and a half months. (I'm a beginner runner - a lot of those miles were couch potato training miles.) But as you run, you get pictures of where you are. Really neat!

    I love my fitbit and just recently bought a Garmin GPS watch. Used an app (Adidas miCoach) on my phone and loved it so much bought a tool dedicated to mapping my run. Impulse buy!
