Hi everyone,
Can I join ? When I was on my validation trip to Perth last month I decided I had to start running again. Now I'm back at it in Blighty. I try to run 3 times a week to work and ride my bike the other days. Its about 7 miles . It's a nice run along the Thames towpath.
So far I've succeeded in running twice a week but I am building up to running there and back 3 times a week. Can't wait to run on the Perth foreshore. I need new shoes and all this get up youve been talking about. Should I buy it here or Singapore or Perth ?

gedge

do you really need all the get up?
run with your feet, breathe with your lungs and enjoy with your mind

Are you saying that we don't enjoy with our minds because we have some techie kit on, gedge?
<raises eyebrow>

It's only music and someone encouraging us along. Some of us need that. I certainly do. It's lonely otherwise.

gedge

and the rest...
it doesn't matter, all i'm saying is you don't need to go out and buy all the gadgets to run with
if you've got them then fair enough may as well use them

gedge

alright, i'm just jealous cos i don't have any gadgets
and i haven't run for almost 2 weeks :grrr:

iPom

Narky knickers.

Normally I dont like an ipod or whatever while I'm out cuz I want to hear all the birds singing but I'd like all that stuff to measure your progress

gedge

on that note, do people have special under daks for running in?
perhaps sooper dooper gadget ones that measure the sweatyness of your bits and alarm if it reaches a particular level

gedge

you mean a watch?

twhurl

No something to measure the distance and the speed I'm going and the 5 day and 10 day moving average and my perspiration coefficient and the correlation of my stride rate with the humidex and the weighted mean of my heart rate over my blood pressure. I need all this plotted against the prevailing wind direction and the chaffing coefficient of my spandex shorts. Preferably in real time so I can adjust on the fly

gedge

oh
have you tried ebay?

twhurl

Can you get ebay on this thing ? That's good cuz I like to multitask
