How do you measure these exact distances?

I run a loop in my neighborhood and measured it with my car. When I start up with the long runs - outside my loop - I'll drive the route first.

I use http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ I'd wager serious runners are using some sort of pedometer/distance measuring device.

Not sure how accurate the google app is, but comparing it to my car it is within .1 of a mile on my normal route.

Today I ran 3 miles and walked another 2. I need to get back into the groove since spring is approaching.

Seriously, I once had a job that called for one of these, so I used it to measure some laps around my neighbourhood.

Ran 13.1 miles last Saturday, only 5 miles today. I have been using a Garmin Forerunner 305 to measure my distances.

5.5 miles today, relaxed 1 hour pace, but the snow and ice slowed me down a bit on the trail sections.

I also use a Garmin 305 to track distance, speed and elevation.

No more running miles for me the upcoming month. I'm gonna take a long rest to get rid of my knee injury. Thing is, I don't feel any pain when playing squash, but after running a mile or so a sharp pain under my knee cap appears and gets worse and worse :S..
