Maury County Park mileage

I ran into David Vernon with the Maury County Parks Department this weekend and he was kind enough to fill me in on the mileage at the Maury County Park!

"The trail at Maury County Park from behind little league field , up through the park and back to where you started is one and one half miles.

"There is a sign stating this in the flower bed where the trail from the little league park crosses the park road just before Kids Kingdom.

"This could be misleading for some, thinking the distance is from the sign up through the park and back to the sign."

Thanks so much Mr. Vernon!

Map My Blank.

There is a cool cluster of web sites out there- Map My ________. Hike, Bike, Run, Ride... any choice really (they probably even have map my swim!). The site is multifaceted- it integrates google maps omnipotent skills to help the participant keep track of the paths taken, as well as training goals and suggestions, as well as a social networking aspect. It's fairly trippy. ( I'm So Punny!)

Now, I am not one of those gps people. I don't have Nike's that commune with my ipod- but I really like this website. I haven't updated it in quite a bit of time- so maybe my fitness goal for this week (besides ten bikram classes) is to retrace the steps I typically take, when on my dog walkin job, or when tromping up mountains with my mountaineering friends.

I'd like to know if you marathoners out there would find this useful at all...

Happy Trails!
