If I run home from work and collect a few bugs on the way, do they all get deposited on my doorstep so that I get a massive fine the next day, or do they defy the normal laws of physics and get left safely at the office door?

Would it be a good idea to divide people's points by their monthly mileage so that beginner-runners can compete with ***** cyclists and experienced runners?

I think it would.

Katie and I have just been for a run to try to shift some bugs before the midday gremlins :-)

Chris - no, bugs stay at the furthest point of your run from home. As for R vs C, I've suggested the same thing a few dozen pages back, and I'm collecting mileage data in the background. There was also the suggestion of tin-tack markers :-)

Sob. I am down to 1 credit :-) I was gentlemanly, and let Katie log her run first.

Hmmmm, we lose points everyday, yet rest days are 'generally' recommended, perhaps the points deduction, marker placements should only occur every 48 hrs. Just a thought.

Only 38 in penalties :-)

Was expecting a lot more!

Never run so frantically up and down streets to get back in time to log the run before 12! :)

I assume that the three bugs that I didn't pick up didn't have a logged point within the distance.

Otherwise not sure how I missed two of them and can't see a way of ever getting the third.
I would love to see my last run route overlaid on the map.

Good game, good game

I don't understand :-(

I desparately uploaded my backlog of November runs this morning, to try and claim some of the stuff before WW uploads his run today, but did it in such a rush that I forgot to import the routes - doh! So then I added a route to one of the runs, but nothing happened.

I added a new run, duplicating one of the previous ones, but this time adding a route, and still nothing happened? Am I just missing them all, cos I did the runs before I knew where the markers were, or is it not picking them up because I ran them before the game went live?

Or does it just not like me? *sulks*
