If it can go wrong for me, it usually does
Okay, so, the weather has been nicer and I’ve been out twice this week. One of the things I like about using the mapmyfitness app is that it tracks me the whole way around the route and I can also link the workout I’ve done to this blog.
The last two times I’ve been out (not including today) the gps on the app has failed and it has told me that my workout was χ minutes, but 0 miles and, therefore, 0 calories and so on.
I had to input the info manually, so it came down to best guess. In the end I have had to uninstall the app and then went to re-install it. This, for some unknown technical reason, wouldn’t work. While I was searching the app store to find it again I saw that there was one by the same people called mapmyride, so I figured what the hell and installed that instead.
The upshot is that I now have a working gps/workout tracker again, but I’ve also discovered that this one talks to you (if you have the hands-free kit in) and tells you your time at 5 mile intervals as well as splits and calories burned.
In other news, I had a very crappy week last week, so my weight went back up. Having weighed myself this morning I can report that I have lost weight, just not as much as I would have liked. I am now 19 st 4 lbs, which is a loss of almost 4 lbs since I started. It certainly would have been more if I had not been comfort eating.
So, without further ado… here’s today’s workout around Victoria Park, during which I am 99% sure that I was passed by Boris Johnson and a big, black Range Rover staff car. He was already past me before I could yell obscenities at him. Next time, Boris… next time!
