New things



I've been running seriously for a few weeks now, so I thought I'd better get some some decent shoes.

A trip to Up & Running and after trying on several pairs and my gait and running style analysed on the treadmill I left £85 lighter and with brand new a pair of brooks defyance 4.

I've never spent any where near as much on any form of footwear. But they are a definete improvement on my £25 2 year old knackered Nike Dart VI's. Very comfortable and very supportive.

I've also bought a fancy GPS and heart rate monitor watch. It;s great to know exactly how far, how fast, how long and where I've been running. After every run I download the information to my computer which plots it all on nice looking graphs and comparison tables. Clever stuff.
