Midjudging running routes...oops

Last weekend, I intended to go on an 8-mile run on Mother's Day.  Due to a miscalculation on my part, it ended up being 10 miles.  Not a big deal, but...oops.  2 extra miles, 20 extra minutes, and a little bit of the when-is-this-going-to-end mentality near the end. 

Today, I meant to run a 7-mile route.  I'd done this route before (I thought), and I was just going to run it in reverse and side step one portion on the main road for the same thing on a side street.  I ended up going 7.7 miles.  Oops again. 

I think I need to actually map things out on paper (computer) instead of just estimating in my head.  Good thing I'm not in charge of laying out a running course for anyone else!
