First Mapped Run with a GPS-Capable Device

This afternoon I started running with a GPS-enabled device…my Blackberry Phone. There’s this cool new website with a downloadable application called Sportypal for Blackberry phones to record workouts in running, cycling etc. It’s totally awesome and I’m amazed with how it records the results of my run as detailed as how my previous runs were record with a Champion Chip tracking device. Here is the result:

Running was fun this afternoon. I’m still on my way in getting back in shape for another run after some weeks of resting due to sickness. I can still feel the heaviness of breathing at times but It feels great after. I’ll try posting some  moreof my mapped workout runs, my other runs like my Conquering Corregidor Run soon..just to show you readers how I enjoy running.

   Wow hi tech na ang mga runs mo. These are good alternatives to Garmins. Would cellphone GPS Apps rule the sports gadgets?

   Jinoe! :p Naku Condura na sa Sunday at wala pa akong intense training LOL.

   Natuwa ako ang hi tech ng SportyPal at naka-tipid na ako kea bumili ng Garmin. *drools*. Problem lang is mabilis ma-drain ang battery ng Blackberry at malaki ang Blackberry…kailangan may belt bag/armband.
