Anyone Using RunKeeper.com?
I'm a runner and have been using RunKeeper.com to keep track of my runs, walks and hikes. You can use it for just about any activity and it will import data from Polar HRMs, Garmin GPS/HRMs and other devices.

Losing My Pants
For the last three weeks my size 36 pants don't fit right. The belt bunches up the waist and the cuffs bunch up around my shoes. I've been sporting quite the hobo look.

Losing Weight in the Feet?
I've dropped about 10 lbs and I've noticed that the leather flaps(?) on my shoelace eyelets are nearly touching. Is it possible that I'm losing fat in my feet? Has anyone else experienced this? I really like these shoes (sigh).
