I had to share.....

I don't know if it's big enough or legible, but I had to share this. MapMyRun have just sent me my half year report (as we're halfway through the year, where did that go, I still remember clearly my New Year's Eve run on the beach).

They reckon I've run/walked/cycled 999.0k so far this year!

Strangely satisfying that number is, probably more satisfying than say 1002.4k, but I can't tell you why, can't put the feelings into words. Apart from it's a whole number, no messy 'point something' of a kilometre.....

Goodness Beads that's one check of a lot of exercise, just look at all those calories you have burned too. Well done you. I had never really kept a track of overall totals until i did Juneathon it's quite amazing seeing all your effort summed like that, brilliant results.

Oh wow, that's brilliant! I know what you mean about 999.0 being satisfying :D

I sort of wish I'd stuck with MapMyRun, but the bloke was very fickle and kept losing me because he wasn't paying enough attention, so I ditched him and am now in a more satisfying relationship with Mr. Endomondo instead. But Mr. E doesn't give me nice statistics :(

He doesn't come with me, I don't have a fancy phone, I tell him where I've been, or for the last couple of months been getting the garmin to tell him.
