New shoes…
by Matt on Jan.17, 2010, under What
Ran home in the snow on Tuesday – which was great. Conditions had conspired against me over the past couple of weeks and I thought I wouldn’t get the opportunity, but luckily the snow held out (as did my knee). It was a good run, not quick, but very enjoyable. Shame it couldn’t actually snow whilst I was out thought – that would have been fun.
I got a swim in on Friday, just shy of 1600m – I got a cramp in my foot a couple of lengths from the end which was annoying, but what was encouraging was that I could even get that far having not swum for several weeks.
Finally closed out the week by trying my new Mizuno’s out on my Sunday run. I told Laura that I wouldn’t be long as I was wearing new shoes and probably wouldn’t push it (plus my previous knee issues). I planned on doing about 5mi, but whilst out realised that it would be closer to 6 when I got back. Then approaching 6 felt good and put a bit more on to take it closer to 8. Then right near home decided that since I was having no problems, and the conditions were good I’d put an extra final loop of the lake on taking me up to just over 10! Excellent. I hadn’t gone prepared for that though so didn’t take any water, otherwise I could have probably gone on further.
Mental note. Don’t leave it to 500mi before replacing shoes again.
Time to get a (proper) bike..

Hello Matt. I have a similar blog and I was looking for a convenient way to embed the maps from garmin connect as you have. Could you share the plugin or method that you used to do so? Thanks.

Desmond,
Sorry for the tardiness of my response! The plugin is a little bit of code I put together myself, so it’s a bit bespoke at the moment (no configuration page etc.)
If you host your own wordpress blog then it should work for you though, you’d just have to be prepared to edit the file yourself to put in your own blog information.
Let me know if you’re interested and I can send it to you.
Cheers,
Matt.
