Seven Down Five To Go

July has continued on from the success of June but fitness wise has gone one further with new records on both Runkeeper and the Nike+ Fuelband.

Runkeeper saw 116 miles walked across the the month which is a full 10 miles better than the June record and 14,275 calories were burned which is 1311 better that June so massive success on that front.

My Nike +Fuelband celebrated a year in service by finally beating the fuel record from January (143,303) to set a score of 144,733 which was a relief because the January total was mainly due to an exciting first month of my relationship so it is good to have that firmly in the past.

Nike+ also reflects a good month for on the Running app collecting 113.26 miles and 25,975 fuel with the Fuelband hitting 242.37 miles with 58,765 calories and 495.380 steps overall. The combined fuel for the month is 170,708 which is a massive improvement on last month's 135.389.

A factor in the fitness rise was with having no relationship worries which had hampered me in June and even though this past week, my ex got back in contact it made no difference to the mindset of breaking the records which was nice to have as a feeling rather than the slightly depressive one that I had last month.

The XBOX 360 was badly neglected during the relationship and now I have become single it has continued with goodprogress as I unlocked 75 achievements across 14 games and in total accrued 2231 TA points and an amazing 1485 G which included the breaking of a 2013 goal - 'Reach 100,000 True Achievement points'. which was achieved on the 7th meaning the next target is 114,458 which if reached would mean the amount I earned in 2012 would have been beaten.

Another goal ticked off the list was to win at least £100 across SkyBet and playing the Lottery and as I write I have won £102.12 mainly due to Wigan's success this season which brings me to the events of the weekend which saw me visit a new place in the shape of Leigh Sports Village for the Challenge Cup Semi Final against London but the 70-0 win was with a mixed atmosphere as it was far too easy for Wigan.

At times I felt sorry for London being on the back of such a humilatiing record but with a suprise win in the other game, Hull FC set up a great final which I am glad to say I will be attending at Wembley after promising myself I would do after missing out on the 2011 success.
