Running in Jersey

So I'm on assignment at Jersey General Hospital at the mo. Been exploring St Helier and beyond and last night went running along the seafront almost to St Aubin. Really nice place to get my miles in!

Got a new pair of trainers fro Sweatshop at Bluewater with moulded insoles and selected using their great gait analysis service. Really comfortable!

Only thing now is that my right earphone is busted, looks like a trip to HMV on saturday!

Cheers to everyone for their encouragement, only five weeks to go!!!

Back in the saddle

After a good start I've taken the last two weeks off from running due to some rather bad calf pain I had been dealing with for about a week. I chatted with a couple of friends and they suggested taking some time off, eating a bit more and going back in gently. The pain has all but gone now and I've been getting a bit frustrated at not going out.

Last night I rode my bike into work. Did my usual half hour time. For the first time I decided to have endomondo on my iphone while i listened to the radio (only 1 ear of course) on the ride. Was quite weird having a female computer voice updating me on my progress every kilometer!

As this evening went well I intend to go for a little 3 mile jaunt tomorrow morning when I get home from work and do a few like that before going back up to 10 milers again.

Lastly, nice one Mike Matthews! Ran a half marathon on monday. You can see more about him here: http://www.marathonnewstv.com/?f=Michael+Antony&l=Matthews&n=1.

Toodles!
