Sun Francisco Marathon - 2nd tier sold out
San Francisco Marathon 2nd tier registration is sold out as well. So if you are interested in running full marathon, half marathon, progressive marathon or 5k then register NOW and save some bucks towards better running gear. I registered last month already and planning to start my training runs later this month.
A new video footage that follows a group of runners, led by Dean Karnazes (the ultra marathon man), through the entire course of full marathon, with an animated version showing the cross streets, gives you a feel about what it's like to run this marathon.

I added statcounter.com web tracker to my page yesterday. A simple to setup, easy to read and a FREE service that provides real-time visitor tracking and analysis. A detailed stats report shows higher page hits right after I loaded the page in my browser. I think real-time tracking is a really cool feature. The free service is restricted to last 100 visits (log size). A bigger log size is available in the paid version.
I also added support for Google Analytics but it's not real time. There are four dashboards view: Executive, Conversion, Marketing and Content, each providing multiple customizable reports. Each report can be exported to tab-separated text, XML or CSV spreadsheet. The default analytics report (Executive dashboard) shows four reports with total number of visits and pageviews, number of first time and returning visits, cities from which the visitors come and top referral sources. As with most of other Google services, this is free as well. Viewing the report requires a Google account which is a little weird to me.
Both of these are web log analyzers (a.k.a. web loggers) that parses a log file from a Web server, and based on the values contained in the log file, converts the data into graphical reports. There are other web analytics tools such as Web stat, Omniture Web Analytics and ClickTracks but either they are not free or the evaluation version expires after few days. I'm going to monitor the two reports (statcounter and Google Analytics) over the next few weeks and see which one provides better analysis and then remove the other one.
