Google Earth lets you measure how far you ran

Google Earth [1] is an application that combines satellite imagery, maps and Google Search. It lets you search for parks, restaurants, hotels in your neighborhood and get driving directions. Now you can measure the distance you ran in feet, yards, miles, or meters. Follow the directions in the Measure window under Tools in the Google Earth application. This is a link to the Measure section in the Google Earth Help [2]. If you do not have the Google Earth application, you can download the free version from the Google web site [3]. Google Earth is a broadband, 3D application that runs in Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
