Runkeeper, goals, mountain biking, maps, and photos

Weather allowing, I’m going to ride the trail below tomorrow and I’m going to beat my best. Yeah, I know my “best” is pretty darn sluggish but it’s mine and it feels so good to get out there.

After using both Nike+ GPS and Runkeeper a few times I find Runkeeper to be the superior app. The GPS tracks are more detailed and it runs flawlessly as a background app.

Close encounter with a hummingbird (23s video)

These 23 seconds of video I captured with my iPhone 4 don’t even begin to touch the pristine 500 FPS HD footage you can watch free online in NATURE’s Hummingbirds: Magic in the air. Nonetheless it was fun to have this close encounter even if I was a bit nervous with that sharp beak flitting around my face. That red hummingbird feeder in the background is a Hummzinger Ultra Feeder and it works great without attracting any bugs.
