So, most of you know I have put on a few pounds since playing TF2. I have been going out on a daily walk for the past few days. Though I have a Garmin GPS running watch to keep track of my distance, I flubbed its operation today. Somewhere on my walk I accidentally bumped the watch and it stopped - bad design. So when I went to pause it, I actually started it up and when I thought I un-paused it, I actually stopped it. I had no idea as to how far I walked. The solution? A Google-based pedometer website. You find your start location, hit "record" then double-click to mark your starting location, then again to mark the next turning point. I know Google Earth has this function as well, but you don't have to install this on your machine to get your distance. I went just over five miles with a calorie burn of over 800 Calories. That's like a Big Mac and a medium Coke's worth of calories burned. I would have to have walked almost double what I did if I wanted fries with that. Here's the link: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/,You should be more like Cantrip.  Twitchy: "I pulled a Cantrip . . ." GivePeaceAChance: "If the Tempest had nipples, I'd pinch that shit." Xylicon: "I'm about to deliver my [Richard] in your face for posting that stupid shit. " WDF?: "He keeps reaming me... night after night... I'm rather sore." GivePeaceAChance: "OMG MY NIPS ARE HARD" llenta: "cantrip, you fail!!!" Filliam H. Muffman: "i'm on top of dick"

Crass wrote:Yea.. I thought you ran allot? 10 marathons (26.2 mile distance) within 12 months from 3/06 to 3/07. Three weeks later I ran a 5k (3.1 miles) really really fast and as a result I injured my knee at mile 2.5, but I kept running at that fast speed. So I messed up my knee and I am still feeling the effects almost a year later. Besides, the amount of time you have to put in practice runs is many many hours. In the last six months on Saturday long-run training day, I was doing a marathon, then 12 miles the next Saturday, 16, 12, then another marathon. 12 miles at a training pace would take 2.5 hours, plus another hour of prep and cooldown. That's a lot of time. 16 was over three hours. And a marathon was all weekend with travel time. So yeah, I used to run a lot, slowly. Running fast = injury. I'm an idiot for not stopping my 5k when I started feeling pain. You should be more like Cantrip. Twitchy: "I pulled a Cantrip . . ."

Damn, Crass wins by a long shot. The longest non-stop run I've ever done was only 11.4 miles, 2 weeks ago. Win Cookies Awarded: 7 (bawwwwww)

I admit I did take a few breaks here and there, but I think the longest one was maybe 30 minutes at the halfway point. 4 miles is nothing man. Razor wrote:Killing people is good therapy.
