I love nerdy geeky useful apps on my iPhone – and RunKeeper is right up there with my Sleep Cycle.

I left the house this morning, opened my app, set it to walk and turned GPS on and away we went.

RunKeeper meaured distance, speed and calories.  How cool!
A little training program for me stored in my phone.

Combine that with my pedometer – which I will be wearing for the 10,000 steps Challenge (we have a couple of teams made up of people from our floor at work) – and I can start to get rid of these couple of kilos I have put on from not diving the last month or so.  Its astonishing how quickly the scales creep up!  And I did not think that a pool session and a weekend’s diving was necessarily keeping that much weight at bay anyway.

I needed to edit my security settings – to keep my map details a little more private.

Women want ‘real men’

I’m not 100% sure why this appeared in the Odd Stuff section of Stuff – I think its more of a lifestyle piece than anything.

The article talks about the more “real” men that attract us women.

A new survey suggests that not all woman are after a hairless muscle-man from the pages of Men’s Health, but instead are on the lookout for a guy who is a little rough around the edges.

Top of the desirable traits was the unshaven look – a turn-on for 41 percent of women, while a slightly geeky personality was also popular.

Top of the list is the unshaven look.
Which I agree to, rugged and a little unkempt is definitely handsome (not so handsome that I could handle having my face and …. anyways, that I could handle permanent pash rash).

A well defined body is nice to look at, but oh so often it comes hand in hand (a little pun there?) with a terribly over inflated ego or no personality or a just plain mean temperament.  A muscular body does not have the same cuddle factor that a more natural body has.  Perhaps it is true that you can not have everything.

I like a little it of grey hair.
I like a bit of meat on my man – something to hold on to and something to drape myself over.
