Quick Update

Realised, I’ve not posted in a while. Fitness thing is going pretty well, I entered the 4 mile version of the race I entered last month, the results are here. I shall be entering this race next month. Erm a couple of new bits on the website, you may notice a new wiggle wish list link on home page, birthday soon, wink wink. And then there is this new gallery, of my setup in work.

Apart from the hondoorus trip next week nothing much to update.

Taff Trail

Yesterday, Anthony and myself decided to do the taff trail, end to end. After a bit of a pollava finding the start in Brecon we were on our way. It was a miserable day, but went quite well despite the nasty early climb, and the lack of energy (Required a pits stop at a garage for some munchies), up untill the a point just outside Tescos in upperboat. Just to piss me off, the crank arm fell off my bike, and I failed to finish . I am going to slap fuck out of halfords when I get chance to visit them in the week.

Run Update

So how did my first real race go, well it went well in a weird way, I accomplished 30 minutes solid of running, no walking. That said I did come close to the back of the pack. 3 Miles 30:03, the results are here, and a picture of me here.

Quick Update

plod — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 07:04:28 +0000

Well I’ve not posted in a while, primarily because I was hoping for more replies to the post before and some playlists. And didn’t want to loose the post from the front page, and although I’ve had lots of people showing interest. Nobody has actually sat down and posted me a playlist, so I suppose I’d just like to request that people could do that no matter how obscure.

Fitness is going well althoguh Aims and I have had a chest infection over the last week or so, and as a result I’ve decided to take it a little bit easier this week. I want to make sure all the gremlins are out of my system before the race I have on Sunday (3k) and the race I have a week Friday (4 Miles) in Lisvane and Pontcanna respectfully.

Work is very hectic, and on that note I have to go chase a deadline; Have a nice Christmas!

Training Playlist

plod — Wed, 23 May 2007 15:47:34 +0000

Hello Dear readers, you may or may not have realised I have started to exercise and get healthy like a supergerbil, I am after some playlists for my new shiney 8gig ipod nano. I am after some playlists here in the comments. The structure should be as follows:

Tracks should get the adrenaline pumping
There should be 10 tracks
Tracks should be as close as 3 minutes as humanly possible
No two tracks in a playlist unless absolutely necessary
As much variety as possible in a playlist.

I will try and use a playlist in each of my training sessions in the coming weeks and put the results here. Adrian thought I should offer a prize for this so I’ll just quote exactly what he said:

[16:51] <@a17drian> ooo ‘make this gerbil burn!’ - Give me play listens and who gives me the best burn will win a jam jar full of my own personal sweat which was produced from all my trainning when listening to your heart kicker

So yeah, i’ll honour that

The future’s dull the future’s Orange

There seems to be a lot of negativity at the moment surrounding orange, first of course there was aims problem, and it seems shrink and commenters, have jumped ship to vodafone. I have also started to shift my like for what I thought for a long time was the best UK mobile phone provider. First there was the 9 months it took to switch my mobile contract to the company plan. My current problem is with the way they provide blackberry solutions.

I think the staff contract is up the end of this month, perhaps its time to make the jump to voda.
