Phil_N Jan 2012 8:50pm, 9 Jan 2012 1,059 posts	Quote Pin Phil_N I've been having similar thoughts over the last few days. I think the game is great and I've discovered bits and pieces in the neighbourhood that I never knew existed. But lately I find myself worrying about chasing bugs and getting the higher value coins before anyone else rather then concentrating on my training and goals. I think I'll stay registered but put it on the back burner for the time being.
Smout Jan 2012 8:55pm, 9 Jan 2012 3,414 posts	Quote Pin Smout I'm trying to work out the balance for marathon training versus fetchpointing........ I quite like the bug busting / coin collecting for easy / recovery / buggy runs as it stops me getting too much into a zone an speeding up Today I was good and actually did what I had in my plan with a slightly longer warm up/down to bug bust but I was already considering upping those to 3 miles so in some ways it did me good...... The coiny flowers will help me sooo much more tho so am hanging on hoping they're no too far off

Badger Jan 2012 9:25pm, 9 Jan 2012 3,107 posts	Quote Pin Badger Matches up quite well with plotting routes for long funs for me. Do my best not to think about bugs or coins when it's speedwork day
