OK, so I have been running for the past few weeks and have slowly built up to 5.2 miles (best time approx. 44 mins) and eating abit healthier as well. I am really enjoying it at the moment and have already been out when its been pissing down. So I suppose I have no excuses now! Although the wife does work shifts, so I cant just nip out as I have 2 kids.
Anyhow, I bought a pair of Nike Air Span+ 6 running shoes on Friday and I have to say, what a difference when you have a decent pair of trainers! I was using a £5 pair from tescos before!
Mapmyrun is an excellent site for mapping out a run beforehand, but I am sure there is other sites that do the same.
Im not really sure how far I want to take this, but like I said, Im enjoying it atm so long may it continue.
On the point of Nike+, when I was buying my trainers on Friday, the woman in the shop said that the Nike+ sportsband (only if you dont have an ipod nano) is to be re-released at the end of this month hopefully. The first version apparently wasnt that accurate. Something I will probably get in the future.
