Latest N-carnation

I’ve had the Nokia N82 for a few days now so its time to update on my early impressions. I was quite intrigued to see what the N82 actually had to offer, a quick check on the Nokia site seems to suggest that it is damn similar to the N95 apart from the obvious visual [...]

The Beast is Back

My super little heart broken garmin has been returned. In fact the nice people at garmin have given me a brand new forerunner 305 as the original clearly had a terminal cardiac issue. Good warranty service, yay for Garmin! So I’m now having to sneak through Broadmoor security with two heart rate monitors, a strange [...]

Guilt Tripping

Guilt Tripping

I’m feeling pretty guilty and a bit slovenly. I skipped BPTT today so that I could wait for the postman to bring me my new toy. When it arrived I took it back to bed with me so I could check out its functions, but I didn’t mean for anyone to feel rejected! I hinted [...]

Gadgets & Gear

I’m a self confessed gadget freak and another close shave with ebay and a ridiculously expensive but absolutely essential running watch has triggered the creation of this page – my homage to sports gadgets (specifically running gadgets), gear and utilities that you can almost not afford to live without. There is a link to all [...]

Running Routes

The Garmin Forerunner 305, GPS and heartrate monitor, has encouraged me to branch out a little with my running routes. With that in mind I have prepared a few local routes around the Thames in West London. They mainly involve runs around the 4 bridges in my area: Kew Bridge, Chiswick Bridge, Barnes Bridge and [...]

Running – The Purists Sport?

Running - The Purists Sport?

pure Originally uploaded by warriorwomen. Running is normally considered the minimalist sport, much favoured by purists who just like to pop on a pair of shoes and head out of the door to freedom. I somehow manage to thwart this image and see a necessity in spending the best part of a months salary on [...]

Yearly Progress

I’ve spent the last few days transferring my hand written running diary to SportTracks. I started my run/walk program at the end of 2004 and religiously kept notes of distance, time, weight and my general feelings. The garmin forerunner arrived around May 2005 and left the diary defunct as I was now automatically uploading the [...]

Funghi to be With

It feels like I’m back on form again now, after a very poor start to the month I managed a 24k week which feels great. I took the forerunner out on a little treat this morning with the aim of finding a new route, I’ve started to feel a bit guilty about recording the same [...]

North vs South Nike Race Report

Despite about 3 months of excuses and general complaining, both OGB and myself managed to get ourselves to the start line of the Nike 10k Runlondon event. I can’t say we were overly happy – we still maintained an air of cynicism which acted as a cover for our fear but we were clearly commited [...]

The Great River Race

I’ve had a really odd couple of weeks, the new job has kicked in and its been so varied I just don’t seem to be able to get back into a proper running routine. In fact I can’t get into any kind of routine. My first run after the hotel break felt great – the [...]
