I injured myself, now what?
So I hurt myself badly while bikeriding and I'm pretty sure I've got a sprained knee and I can't bare much weight on my hip without it hurting.

Running calories are way off
So I tried my new HRM today. I did 33 minutes on the treadmill (5 minutes warmup, 28 minutes running af 5 mph, then 5.2 mph). I've been using the machine's calorie count.
