Just 490.8 to go!
The weather and some weekend travel plans threw a wrench in my goal of getting an eight mile in before Monday, but I think I can catch up this week.
Overall, I feel good about my goal and I'm up to the challenge. I've discovered that I'm not drinking enough water, so I've been really focused on drinking eight cups a day and tracking them. In the past, I've used various apps to track my daily caloric intake, activity and water consumption. Lately, I've just been using my Fitbit dashboard and I think it works well.
I bought a Fitbit Zip activity tracker on Amazon for less than $50. I love it because it's small, and has a clip on the back so I can put it in my pocket or clip it to my running shorts. Since I work downtown and do a lot of walking, it's nice to have an idea of how far I actually do walk in a day and approximately how many calories I burn without making a conscious effort to do so.
I still utilize MapMyRun to create my routes and get an idea on the distance, but I wear my Fitbit as well to confirm how far I've gone. It also makes me competitive with myself, wanting to outdo what I did the day before, etc.
What apps/devices do you prefer?
