Running with verve

I love that MapMyRun tool! Except for the ads. But it is nice to be able to catalog and, more importantly, to see the runs that other people are doing in Pittsburgh. Perhaps I'll drive to a different run at some point. I can tell that underlying that thought is the hope that somewhere there is a bright, green land with no hills. I'm thinking the hidden answer is ... not in Pittsburgh. But 2.17 miles today with a few stops to let my feet recover a bit. The new route problem, in fact, is trying to find a nice decently long route that doesn't involve traffic. Not that it's an affront to my sensibilities so much as I can't hear Dan Janzen talk about biodiversity very well, even with the ipod pretty much blasting.

Glad you like your shirt, Brian. I have one two. I like the sense of running in parallel several hundred miles apart! And, of course, it's funny. I rarely get the chance to wear t-shirts these days, but when I do, they often come from verve.com.
