If you want gadgets Idio's your man - he loves them - I'm too cheap for that sort of thing - I just downloaded a free application for my phone and I was away

I'm a changed man lately - completely de-gadgetted for the last couple of weeks.



Anyway, I did a 10k in the end yesterday (bailed out of a longer run as I could feel sunburn wasn't a thousand miles away..), around 50 mins. Today I did a 9.3 at lunch, in 1:24, which was a nice pace and a start at getting used to running in above-zero temperatures again.

Lovely run out, tottering along the river in (shh) abingdon was just brill - shoulda done more, really.

Legs were pretty strong for the first 6 miles, but starting to whinge a bit on the way in - think the 10k hurt them a bit yesterday (the last couple of miles were pretty brisk to make up for dropping out).

You know you're lazy when you can't be bothered to charge your garmin

Is nice, though, to just enjoy running without looking at the thing the whole time - and all my routes are in mapmyrun these days anywho

have to admit i didn't used to be able to step foot in the gym without my ipod, but don't even take it with me anymore, instead i've gone all zen, focusing on my breathing, i used to pant like a loon, so when my HR goes up i do the whole mr miagi business of "in tru da nose, out da mouth" lol and magically it comes right down! lol

Well I'm trying to wean off the mp3 - its not allowed in most races, but I do like music to run to even if it wastes energy (singing, head bobbing etc)...
