Google Earth has proved to be a wonderful tool in informing the exact distance (in meters) I was covering.
Here is a snapshot of one of the roads I run on. Its military area, part of which is accessible to the public. Junta from my locality go around for walks and many kids play cricket on the roads. I had no clue how long it was, until I had a look through Google Earth.
I was also able to look at the actual marathon route, and figure out how fast I should be running to get to certain milestones along the way.

Last time I did 9 kms in something like 53 minutes. Which is decent. I want to run half marathon (21.1 km) under 2 hours.
BTW, during one of my training runs, two guys hesitantly stop me and ask "Aap Kenya se hai ya India".
My hair is short and I must look darker and menacing at nights.
No problem, I will beat an African :-)
