A Matter of Time .... and Distance oh and speed too!

Shortly after I moved from Berkshire to Leicestershire (or Derbyshire if you work for the Royal Mail!) I joined the Ivanhoe Runners. Great group of people of various speeds all of which are faster than me!
The Club Chairman (Dave) also owns The Derby Runner and as such generally speaking provides a lot of the runners with their kit. Now back in June/July I bought a new Timex Bodylink Hearr Rate Monitor which comes with a GPS for calculating your speed and distance if required. At the time I couldn't afford to get the GPS too :-( and I've recently be wondering how or where to get £160 to purchase the additional component.
On Wednesday Dave advised me that he had just been given a nearly new one for just £60!! Now that I can justify!
Tonight I am hoping that I'll get my new toy! Here's hoping!!!

I have always beena bit of a fan of gadjets and every so often I find myself drooling over what hopefully is now your new toy. Sadly I am also a tight fisted cheapskate so I dont see one heading my way soon, but still 60 pounds sounds alot better than 160

Totally agree! £60 is a bargain and the SDM is fantastic - it's made my running so much more fun!
Can't wait to see the improvements now!

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
