So – I used to be an athlete. Ago…and I have decided that while I may never be an athlete again – I really shouldn’t get tired or winded walking up some stairs (or chasing my dog as she runs down the street after some poor unsuspecting pedestrian)….anyway – I’ve decided to take up running and what not to get myself back to some sort of shape.
I’ve been running 4 miles a day (pats self on back) – which sucks in case you’re curious – im inside on a treadmill staring at a wall…the runing’s not so bad – I’m just board…
Anyway – so last week I went to wal-mart for some reason or another in the middle of the day – after my run – and picked up a king size snickers bar because that’s what I do(did) when I got to stores by myself. For grins I flipped the package over to see how many calories I was about to consume – 170 per serving– hmm that’s not too bad –– 3 servings in one bar – wait…what? Is the snickers bar wrapper somehow re-sealable for me to eat 1/3 of it then put it back? No. no it isn’t – but hey – thanks for manipulating the data – that’s pretty super (lies damn lies and statistics) – anyway
1 Sinckers=3*170=510cal
4Miles=34 minutes of running
4 miles=725 cal
510/725=.7034 (rounded
4miles*.7034 =2.8136 miles
1 Snickers=2.8136 miles =23.9156 minutes
Eeh. That sucks
