Walking/Running calorie burn

I recently learned something interesting. Walking or running 1 mile burns the same amount of calories, no matter how fast you travel. The difference is that if you run, you burn those calories in a lower amount of time. Basically, for someone who weighs 150 pounds, one mile burns 100 calories. So, if you don't weigh 150 pounds, you can figure out how many calories you burn with the following formula, where W is your current weight and M is the number of miles.



If you need to find out how many miles you walked or ran, you can use the running route tools at run.com to map out where you went and it'll tell you exactly how far you traveled.

my new running shoes

I got some new running shoes a couple weeks ago.  Since I'm training for a marathon and will be putting a lot of miles on them, I'd like to get a second pair so that I can wear them out equally instead of trying to switch shoes halfway through my training.  So, I looked around online to see if I could find them cheaper than I got them at the running store.  I actually couldn't find them for less, in fact, all the online places I could find the exact same shoes were selling them for at least $10 more than I paid for them, plus shipping.  I'll keep an eye out for a while, but otherwise I'll be headed back to Run26 to buy a second pair when I get some spare cash.
