I now own a Droid and I want to find an app that will auto publish routes and statistics to my blog much like BIM Active did. I tried Edmondo - it was awful. I have Buddy Runner installed and will try that next. Neither app has a publishing feature.Do you know of anything?

Two months ago, I received an email from Ryan, asking me to review his company’s product, ProWash detergent. I said I would be happy to test the product as I had some shirts that had become truly smelly. I had already thrown away two favorite shirts that continually emitted odor. Most of my shirts don’t really start to stink until I start to sweat. I welcomed the opportunity to try Pro Wash.

Funkadelic

My workout clothes, especially my shirts, have one thing in common with George Clinton - funk. I had already tried another company’s product and I ended up with flowery funk eminating from shirts. Smelled sweet but I could still smell the sweat of a thousand workouts.

Not expecting much, I carefully measured the detergent and dumped it in the wash. I had nothing in there but smelly workout clothes and cold water. Into the dryer they went and when they came out they had none of that telltale stale locker room smell that I’ve become so fond of. Eureka!

The next day I eagerly awoke and threw on my shorts and short and headed to the gym. I jumped on the track and started walking to warm up. Got in line for Boot Camp and as soon as we started with the running in place, sweat started pouring and my shirt smelled so bad that I was soon gasping for breath. I was crushed. I knew I had found the product that would rescue my wicking technical poly dri uber workout shirts from the landfill but it was not to be.

I decided to give ProWash one more try.

It worked. The smell was mostly gone on my older shirts - at least I don’t gag myself with the smell and the newer shirts don’t seem to have any odor unless I leave them sitting in the hot cab of my pickup truck all day. So with time, I’m hoping most of the rest of the odor causing molecules will wash out and that I’ll be able to wear the clothes for a longer period of time.

You can find ProWash on the web at www.ProWashDetergent.com. You’ll find coupons on their website as well. I also want to give ProWash a thumbs up for their packaging. It’s a collapsible bag that takes up much less room than the plastic containers in which detergent is typically packaged, using 83% less plastic.
