I ran this morning and hit a Goreilla - the only problem being that I won't get home til after midnight and it will have moved before I can upload my run. Gah! (I could plot the route manually but there was enough non-road stuff that I'm not sure I can be bothered trying to work out where I went)

I had that recently YP - well, I was home earlier but after a night out getting on to Fetch to upload my run wasn't exactly top of my priority list so it was gone midnight by the time I did it.

I'm enjoying plotting different routes for my commute and the extra few biking miles (nothing much but 8 or 9 instead of 6) are welcome.

You could always plot the 100m past the goreilla manually and upload this as Xtraining walking (so it won't mess up your running or cycling stats) - I'm sure that wouldn't be considered breaking the rules - and then upload the rest tomorrow properly

have there been some updates on the game i've missed. i've collected 2 gore-markers so far, but the 2nd one i have no idea where from. i certainly didn't see it on my map?! also i've harvested 2 flowers this week, one i swear did not exist (never left my circle), and the other was my own. how come?

Maybe it had expired. They have limited life and if not picked, they disappear leaving you with the points

This morning I collected fewer points than I was fined for having bugs.

However I had the great pleasure of being out in sunshine with my dog, and in a place that was flat, green and very attractive. I think I win. :-)

You harvest flowers that were planted 6 weeks before and have been watered at least once (they die if not watered for 4 weeks) - have a look back at your runs from 6 weeks ago...

First Goreilla of the month for me - and it had been sitting on my roof all day waiting for me to spot it.

Mind you,I hope theyr'e not all that easy, otherwise my mileage for the month would be awful. :-)

I've just found a Higgs Boson - should I be terribly excited? There was no large accelerator involved.

Blimey - 6th of the month, and my bug penalties are already over 1200!! Monday's run is going to have to be very wiggly to pick lots of them up and take them into the outer darkness.

On the upside - Tazsedai has uploaded her Parkrun and picked up 3 weeks' worth of my flowers in one go. I hope she's as happy as I am with the resulting points :)
