Google maps pedometer works well for me. When I used it, I figured out that running around my block was exactly .25 miles, which was helpful.

One handy tip about mapmyrun - you can toggle "follow roads" off and on while creating a map. So you switch it off and zoom way in to follow the MUP, and then switch it on to more quickly map the roads you use to get there and back.

Oh! I forgot -- try out Plus3Network.com! You can enter your runs, get the mileage, AND earn money for charity. It would be perfect.
