Almost a first Podcast!

I went out for a nice 7 mile run on Monday evening, and what a beautiful evening it was. Cool, calm and an awesome sky. I tryed for the second time to create what I hope to be the 'Twilight runner podcast'. the first recording was terrible, lots and lots of wind noise on the mic. So this time I got my hands on some foam...the stuff on headphones, wrapped it round the mic so there was 2 layers over the mic hole and hey presto the quality was great. Only I forgot to delete all the test messages I had made and therefore ran out of memory half way round the run, which I didnt realise untill my run was over. AAHHH! lol, ah well, now I believe I'm ready to record a whole first episode. The only thing is, I wanted to get out the first episode before the marathon(my first) on monday 4th May. Doesnt look like that's going to happen now, but the race result will give me more to talk about I suppose. Well....keep an eye on I-tunes for me, hopefully a 'twilight runner' podcast will pop up soon.

Last big run before race day

25/04/09 I had planned on a 14 mile run today, but it was a really nice day, if not a little hot. So i decided to do 17 miles which is made up of a 10 mile loop, then my 7 mile loop. I felt pretty good for most of the run and although it was quite hot, there was a nice breeze blowing of the ocean. This is the last big run before the Belfast City Marathon on Mayday Monday the 4th. I will now taper my training and probably rest for two days previous to the race. I have to go up to Belfast next weekend to collect my race numbers and timing chip. The official charity of the marathon set me out a nice bright yellow breathable vest top which I reckon I'll wear on the day. Gonna take it relitively easy the rest of the day and do a little stretching later on.
