Yay,new coinage!! I can see this could be dangerous, it's going to make me run further and further out of my circle, ie: more miles. I'll be doing a marathon before you know it.

Wow, there's coins in some odd places. There's routes I didn't know existed!

Hooray - flowers on my route to work now. Hopefully I'll pick up coins from them on Monday.

Not many coins at home so a 2 mile walk to playgroup - into enemy territory - and then 14 mile run back home: approx 160,000 points :)

I don't think I'm going to see many flowers as I live and run in Central London :-(

Yay - happy to report the flowers seem to be working in one corner of the Fetchpoint desert up here too. Thanks for these

A suggestion though - views welcome

Any chance we could be awarded some points simply for planting a flower - maybe 50 each?

Reason forthe suggestion is that there is currently no (points) benefit from the flowers unless you go back and run the same same route within the following week - and even then many of the coins may be inaccessible. That's not going to happen for many of the flowers deposited on race routes or at the far end of long runs out into the middle of nowhere - similarly, I tend to head out in multiple different directions on my long runs rather than repeating the same routes regularly. I suggest that if nobody gets any points benefit from many of the flowers then they are of limited value overall to the game as a whole.

As I say, just a suggestion and all views (supportive or contradictory) welcome.
