Dulwich Runners beginners

[ct]

If anyone's not been able to join up to the beginners running class over at the dulwich park runners, and are looking for help in staying motivated I can whole heartily (well after 1 run this evening) recommend the new Nike+ sportband. It costs ?40 ( plus about another fiver for a pouch for the sensor to sit on your laces if you dont want, as i didnt, to buy the nike+ trainers) and is pretty simple to use. Pop the sensor on your shoe, the band on your wrist and off you pop (and in my case wheeze a little). When you get back, after you've recovered, you unplug the USB bit from the wrist band and pop it in your pc and it'll upload your run. You can then track your performance for all your runs with things like distance, km/h, calories burnt. You can even get a group of you to upload your runs into a community and help motivate each other that way too.

even if you're not going to get the thing, I'd definitely recommend clicking on my runs at the bottom of the page and then go into the MAPIT section, as this is a really good tool for mapping a route for your run and it also showing you how far the run is. There seems to be a few dulwich types who've already logged runs on map it.

Hi Scotslass - I'm also on the course (and feeling very smug after every Saturday AM run).

[scotslass]

Morning VerySeriousGirl - know what you mean about the smug feeling:)) What raffle number did you have on Saturday - I was 27

[grons]

Hi scotslass - i was no 26 - will have to look out for you next week!

[scotslass]

Hi Grons, there were 4 of us running together at the end - I was the one with sunglasses on. Which one were you?

1. blonde hair

2. wearing glasses

3. tall

[veryseriousgirl]

I was #25 (thanks for the reminder, Grons) - I was the one in the navy blue Anthony Nolan t shirt.

Goodliz - Mrs Ant would like to know whether you're Power Pramming Liz.

(If you are then presumably that will make sense.)

hi scotslass - i have blonde hair so i may have been one of the three people you mentioned, although i was running with veryseriousgirl who wasn't wearing glasses and is not particularly tall!

[scotslass]

have to identify each other on Saturday then:))
