Google wants you to run with their new Android app.

Google’s new application makes exercising outdoors a little more fun, interesting and harder to lie about how far you really did run yesterday. 

My Tracks records GPS tracks and allows you to see time, speed, distance, and elevation while you’re out running, biking, hiking, etc. After your exercise, My Tracks lets you upload your route online to share with friends and view on Google Maps.

Although there are watches and sites to fill this niche, Google packages it all nicely in one user-friendly application and gives mobile yet another function.
