Fish and Chips!

Thinking of Fish and Chips for tea? I'd pushed it off the menu as out of bounds. But check out
http://www.lovechips.co.uk/chips_v_takeaway.html Its possibly slightly biased, but Fish and Chips comes out at 396 Calories, against my a favourite curry value of 1064 Calories!

And dont forget.. its National Chip week 12th February...

Now looking for another run over at www.runnersworld.co.uk

Completed the Robin Hood Half Marathon

I've raised quite a bit or money for Childrens Brain Tumour Research in the process so will be collecting the money shortly! THANKS TO EVERYONE who supported me!

Here's how I did it courtesy of my Nike Plus iPod kit:

From Running

Used the iPod Nike+ system - with no calibration - it was spot on the mile markers, in fact when I put my foot down on the first mile marker it announced first mile.

Top 10 Runner in GB!

Its Official - I'm the 8th furthest runner in Great Britain, according to www.nikeplus.com and also 8th in the leaderboard for duration.

New Great Site and its not from Google

A new favourite site of mine - not yet owned by google! http://www.gliffy.com
Its what could become the Google Visio. I've done some good stuff with it today. Results are best printed to PDF.

Green Flag

If you use Greenflag for your "AA" cover - dont accept any renewal at the moment. For August they are offering free at home which makes the cover about £40 to £50 cheaper to buy a new policy online. The renewals telephone line cant match the deal either. Renewals should be cheaper surely, repeat customer, no new payment details, no need to send a welcome pack, etc...

Nike+ iPod
