This is so exciting!!! I may get rent!!! I also squished a few bugs on the way - although whether they were within someone's mile circle, I can't tell.

Sometimes I think I like this game, other times I do wonder Is it good for the soul/ for my sanity? Today I mean , I lost my GPS signal , was really GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! then like a lunatic got home and sat manually recreating my route just so I didn't get any penalties!!!!!!( probably didn't click close enough as coins collected total is fairly low ) It is only a game afterall but WHY oh WHY is it taking over my headspace?

If I dont manage to squish a bug but get it outside my 1mile home cicle, is it still a threat to me, in the future? Do I get any points for squishing lil critters outside my home circle- some of my runs take me on a circular route and I cant avoid these-nor can I avoidthe traffic lights). So some bugs get squished that are not a penalty threat to me. Some I'm moving -unintentionally. on the leaderboard- I bet SYSTEM does quite well on a daily basis without donning running shoes! talking of the leaderboard- there are some crazy runners out there to amass those points surely?

Bugs outside your circle are only a threat if there is the possibility that someone else might move them back into your circle. You get points for moving and squishing any bugs - whether or not they are yours. Now where is that article?

Today there was another one less than half a mile away from home so after all my school admin work I went out for a little run. This brought my total up to five Gores for the month which is good cos I'm running away from home next week, ;). Don't need to chase any more markers now.
