New Route: The Grinder ... 20 miles training run

Long run today.  I combined two exiting runs, south to downtown Everett plus .  I wanted to loop by the Marina so headed west on Everett ave to catch W Marine View drive.  My target distance for today was 15-20 miles so I finished at the upper range, but the last 3 miles were really tough ... So I called this route "The Grinder" LOL  The route could be as long as 27 miles by closing the loop home.

I found this great site to record routes at http://www.walkjogrun.net/.  The site has also an Iphone app that lets you look up routes by your location.  I logged The Grinder there, the first route I recorded.  The mapping functionality is easy to use and allows to adjust, undo pins.  The route can be "locked" and "unlocked" for editing and marked "private" if wanted.  Everyone has access to everyone's else routes.  The "public" routes can be googled, that's how I found this site in the first place.  The site allows one to log their time in, keep a journal and provides training plan several race distances.  The site is free and displays "ads" in the a smaller window unless you make a one time $1 donation.

There is also a capability to embed the route unfortunately the HTML code isn't working in this editor and I don't know how to fix it.  Here is a snap shot of the map ...
