Walker tracker as a mobile step-logging system

I use Walker Tracker as my step logging system, typing in how many paces my pedometer has gone and a few notes on the day. There's a nice little community there, kept small by the requirement to actually be out and active and to care enough to track it.

Recently I have been exercising my mobile phone as a web device and have discovered to my delight that this site works quite well on a Blackberry. It is slow (I blame the T-Mobile GPRS network for that) but pages render faithfully.

There's something properly self-rewarding about writing how your walk is going while you are walking. It doesn't speed things up in any way - the keyboard typing while on foot is quite slow - and makes you look unearthly. I walk late at night in a quiet safe neighborhood, and that works out pretty well.
