Santa Fun Runner

I'll next be running at this run in Loughborough with over 700 other santas!

I've phoned the future and its not VOIP

We had freetalk for a year, no problems at all. It worked out the box. Probably about half a dozen calls were rubbish quality during that time. Then Dixons realised it was making no money (and probably didnt know how to start billing those on an annual contract) - so sold out to Vonage.

I got the vonage box, lost my phone number for a day while they transferred and then got a terrible line. At work I've tried sipgate. Not so bad call quality, but 1 in 3 dials you get a number unobtainable sound as the sipgate network struggles to get you connected.

So, back to copper wires. It's the future?

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.
