that is how much energy i’ve burned this week so far training for a marathon run. its equal to 3537 calories. or equal to the amount of solar radiation received by 1 square meter of earth in 15 seconds. yea that is not impressive. my fat ass could prolly produce more energy by sitting down on a couch and smashing a cat. cool.
oh yea…i guess for the past 3 weeks i’m training for a marathon that i’ll be running in october. no, i havent run a marathon before so i need to buy electronic gadgets to help. in fact, any excuse i can come up with to get liquor, pills, hookers or electronic gadgets is kinda the theme of my life.
so i went out and bought a Polar RS300X G1 Heart Rate Monitor/GPS Black and a flowlink to hook up to my mac from the running warehouse. i’ve been using it about a week. its okay. it has a gps to measure your distance and your pace in real time. the flowlink works extremely well with my mac. i’ll have to give a better review on the hardware later. my first run with the gps measured my distance exactly. but my last two runs outside had trouble tracking accurately. maybe in a month or so, i’ll post up some data of my progress and give a better review of the hardware.
in the meantime this week (sunday->thursday), i’ve run 21.8 miles which is a mere fraction of my beer drinking calories. with all this training, i will have to double my beer intake and see if amazon sells a britta-liver.
the goods. can you really run without a monitor and a gps? damn. i'm a gadget freak
