All running and it took 18 mins, which isn’t too awful I guess. Felt good and I recorded the whole thing on my phone. It’s got this Nokia sports tracker application on it. Once I know what the weblink for that is I’ll put it somewhere on the website.
Recently I’ve been running (2 miles, treadmill, last monday), biking (Penhydd, Afan, Friday, took an hour and a half and felt really good on the climbs), walking (up Pen-y-fan and then onto Cribyn, last Saturday). So I’m doing half decently on the exercise front. Also got a longer and hillier walk to and fro work now I’ve moved.
Going to try and update this with run details in the future.

I really ran all of the whole 1.5 miles this time. Very little walking this time. I’d walked home from work and went out straight after that, so I didn’t need to do my usual 400m walking warm up. I just started running from my front door pretty much. It was a really good run as well. I paced myself well and just got on with it. I didn’t need to stop at all really. Much better than usual. Why can’t all runs be like this? A few more good runs like this and I can start upping my mileage. As I’ve not really been running more than once a week for ages and I’d like to be able to run a bit further and a bit faster. I’d not run since the previous one cause I got a nasty head cold, so I wimped out a bit on that front.

Quick 1.5 mile run. My shins are still pretty painful. But that’s nothing new. About the normal really.

Went for a run. Normal route, normal time. I have been doing a fair bit of mtbing and walking so haven’t lost out in the fitness stakes.

This wasn’t a good run really. I walked to fast through my warm up and henceforth pulled my shin muscles again. So I’ve got to lay off anything for a few days, maybe till Tues/Weds, when I’ll try a gentler 1.5 miler again. I’m working next weekend so I won’t be able to do much that weekend either. I really need to increase my mileage atm. I’m hovering around 5 miles per week, but not really increasing it. Also I’m looking into getting some new shoes for next month as well.

I was able to run for most of the distance which I was quite happy with. I think concentrating on this short distance for a while has been good. Now I can pretty much run the whole thing I’m going to concentrate on speeding up a bit. Then I’ll try and add a longer distance run in once a week.

I thought I’d put up a little post listing a few of my favourite webcomics.
Firstly, I’ll have to start with Megatokyo, it was one of the first comics that I started reading and is still good. However I would have to say that the general quality of the storyline has slipped somewhat. It is still incredibly slow in telling the story. Still I’m interested to see where Fred will take it.
Ctrl-Alt-Del, is one of the funniest comics I read. It also has a great cast and although they do get forgotten from time to time there is a good story behind it. Chef Brian is also well worth a trawl thru the archives for, assuming you like your comics surreal.
The Order of the Stick is very much gaming based, specifcally Dungeons and Dragons, the artwork may not be the most sophisticated, but for what it is it can be quite impressive at times. The humour is great and generally understandable by all.
xkcd is a newish find for me, but I’m utterly hooked on it. It is an odd combination of maths and romance, but I’m smitten. My personal favourite is this one, it’s so very wrong tho.

The usual circuit, but I feel much better going round it. A little bit faster. I’ll give it a lay off till Weds I think. The left shin was smarting a little afterwards.
