Just found a really cool site where you can map your run or walk, put in some details like your height and weight and the site calculates how far you went on your run, how fast you went and how many calories it took to do it. When I found it I didn't believe it would work in New Zealand, as a lot of these things only work in America, but lo and behold, they even have maps for Wanganui. I now know how far I go and where I should go if I want to run 3 kms on each trip. I'm doing slightly over 2 kms at the moment, so there is a bit of an increase to go. If I do want to do that. And I think I do, because most fun runs and triathlons/duathlons go for at least 3 kms.
I also got some new shoes for running. They feel great, especially compared to my old shoes, which feel flat beside my proper running shoes. And these new shoes are hugely better than my first proper running shoes. So things are getting better and better.
But if I am running to loose weight it is not working. I suspect part of the running is so I can keep eating the things I like to eat without having to buy bigger clothes. My metabolism has certainly slowed down as I approach 40. The running means no-one but me actually knows. But getting back to work so that I don't have constant access to the pantry wouldn't be a bad thing!
