Maybe they are all out running? Or gone over to the dark side (the walking thread LOL)...

I'm here..

Just keeping quiet due to my lack of running lately...

(mapmyrun only reckons I've burnt 15000 calories or something this month - about 25% less than the last couple of months...worrying trend...)

Snaggles

Well, it's a short month........


(am I grasping at straws?)

15,000 calories holy moly,

Mind you just think if you burn 2,500 a day (or 2,000 if you're a girly like moi) - it doesnt seem that much, but its still 15,000 extra calories...

Feel better idio?

Yeah, much - thanks

I don't care about the number *really* - I eat less than my "daily" calories most days, so as you say, anything I burn exercising is just a bonus...it's just the fact that it's less than the other months (and seems to feature rather more "rest days" than the others) that has me worried.

I think it's mainly expained by the lack of mountain biking lately tbh - a 3/4 hour ride really racks up the calories...but I've been busy on weekends and it's a bit dark to ride after work now...hopefully that's all it is, but I'm keeping a close eye on it

lol, I don't count them too much day to day, just take an interest in how many calories stuff has before I buy it...And I only know the mapmyrun stuff because it says it right at the top - and is an interesting indication of "total stuff done" in a month...

I'm starting to wonder if I need to find somewhere new to run though, because the asthma doesn't bother me when I do the school run, but it does when I run round the reservoir - maybe something is triggering it. Damn, I love running round there too. :rolleyes:

Hi Snaggles, I have asthma too and always find that when near to water it's a lot colder and that in itself takes my breath, enough to make me need the blue inhaler. I assume you keep yours with you? Don't worry, I can't boast about doing so as all too often I forget.

Good luck with finding somewhere dryer, it'll certainly help you.
