Let's Get in Shape!


You can thank Lynda Weide for this! She turned me onto looking at USATF.com to look at a cool mapping tool you can use to map your running routes. Well, I liked the tool. But then I noted to do more stuff you had to join USATF for $49.00. Being cheap I became a googling fool dead set on finding something on-line that would do something similar but little to no fees attached. I think I found it!

Since cycling is my best event (I feel less pain), I stumbled on the following site: http://mapmyride.com . I couldn't believe it! It was the same mapping tool Lynda led me to, but you can sign up for an online fitness log. Better yet, you can have others view your activities in a public post (that would get us off our butts knowing others can see if you've done anything). Better yet, it has sister sites (same idea only different events). You can go to:

Best thing about it? It's FREE! So, I joined and I'm going to start putting in my stats beginning August 7th. If you join, make sure you mark your profile and training log as "public". I think that's in step three.

Let me know your thoughts!!! Hey, at least we can start - and if it gets to be a bummer, just stop whenever you feel like it.

If you wanna see what a profile looks like this is mine (but there's not much there yet).
