Running (with) Android

I'm running on a regular basis. Not a typical thing a geek would do, but at least it generates a lot of data in form of GPS traces for further processing. I'm keeping track of my running workouts with RunningAhead website [http://www.runningahead.com] and for a while I was also using their dedicated app for Android to record my exercises. However over time I found software called CardioTrainer[http://www.worksmartlabs.com/cardiotrainer/] much better as it gives me voice updates on my speed, distance, remaining distance etc., provides music (or podcasts in my case) playback. I couldn't though completely migrate to it from RunningAhead for two reasons: one, CardioTrainer does not support history import (well you can enter workout info manually, but that's only overall time and distance); two, RunningAhead website is so much better.
So for now, I'm recording tracks with CardioTrainer, than exporting gpx files and uploading them to RunningAhead. I've also just started my own little project to have a software that combines the best of the two plus gives some extra data crunching features that I'm missing now...
