Today is an “easy” 8km jog. Nothing easy about it; legs were still saw from the run on Day #5. Due to the slowness of the run (9.16 km/hr) I was able to take my GPS enabled BlackBerry:

It was supposed to be a rest day, but went for a walk with Mel and Ava to the nearby duck pond. I decided to test out the GPS functionality of my Blackberry, so I decided to download a GPS logger. I configured it to log GPS co-ordinates every second and to export to a KML file format. This was the result.
Session:
54 min walk.
Results:

- Max Heart Rate: forgot my heart rate monitor (again)

- Number of Blackberry devices that I was able to test its GPS functionality: 1
Hills on the treadmill at the gym today watching the top 10 music countdown on Channel V. Interesting note: the top 5 spots were all collaborations. I’m sure there is a management theory somewhere in that.

Struggled early, but got through it. Post workout endorphins were great.
