Do you know Google Pedometer?

I love this Google innovation! It allows you to zero in on your city, neighborhood, or vacation spot, draw a route, calculate the distance, and then save it!

I discovered this site during my maternity leave, and it allowed me to explore different areas of my neighborhood, and know exactly how much distance I had covered. I live in an area that has multiple adjacent subdivisions. It's fun to explore and look at the different houses, but (a) I have a terrible sense of direction, and (b) with a tiny new chippamunk, I never wanted to be super far from home base.

So enter Google pedometer! Each morning, I'd plot a circuitous, multi-mile walk in our neighborhood, print out the map, and stuff it in the stroller. I got lots of exercise, and I never got lost!

Now go outside!
