http://walkingguide.mapmyrun.com/create is hands-down the best version of the googlemaps pedometer utility I've found. It allows you to auto-navigate to a starting address and there's a box you can check that will automatically line up your notations with roads. The only problem is that it won't let you walk the wrong way on a one-way street, so while you're tracing out those pieces you have to uncheck the box.
I've walked 29.167 miles since I started logging last week, but I'm now thinking that maybe when I get to 30 I'll get a dog instead of a bike helmet. Even though bikes (and bike helmets) and dogs are totally different things, it makes sense in my head :) (Dogs and bikes are both exercise partners of a sort.) Maybe I should push it up to a longer distance, though, because even if the perfect dog suddenly appeared, I couldn't get a dog until Monday because I'm not driving at all Wednesday through Saturday out of deference to my mother's religious beliefs.
