I've officially switched to MapMyRun from gmaps-pedometer. I can actually embed my running routes on here now!
It was a beautiful day for an easy Prospect Park run, my standard 7 mile loop that I save for leisurely weekends when the traffic going up Park Slope is less of an issue.

James Stranahan believed that a park in Brooklyn, "Would become a favorite resort for all classes of our community, enabling thousands to enjoy pure air, with healthful exercise, at all seasons of the year..."
Prospect Park is Brooklyn's better-than-Central-Park. Seriously, Fredrick Law-Olmstead developed it over 30 years, fixing all the mistakes he made in Manhattan's major park. It's a pain when there's traffic rolling through on weekdays- or when people see fit to run or bike in reverse- putting everyone in peril- but it makes a sunny day feel so much sunnier.
As long as the water fountains stay on a few more months, I'll keep up my Prospect Park weekend loop.
