In the past I have used the blog to vent my anger and frustration at outdoor retailers that can't seem to post items out in a reasonable timescale or one's that take an order and then can't fulfill it.
Well this post isn't one of them. On Sunday night Steven Horner posted on twitter that Wiggle were selling Inov-8 Terrocs at a really good price.
So at 20:10 on Sunday night I ordered a pair; they turned up at 08:00 Tuesday, now that's what I call service.
So a BIG thanks to Steven for posting the tweet and an even BIGGER thanks to Wiggle for the quick delivery.

Walking Training Log
I've just added a Walking Training Log widget in the sidebar; this is mainly for me to help keep track of the walking I will be doing over the next 3 months.
The widget is for a website called dailymile which is a social training site, it will help me keep on the straight & narrow (hopefully!).
I have also been think about using the Wii Fit Game to see if I can use it for extra workouts, it has Strength Training, Aerobics, Yoga and Balance Games. The more interesting one's look to be the Aerobic and Strength Training but I need to look into this more.
The walking starts on Tuesday.

Run Fat Boy Run
I don't run, never have. That's not strictly true; I probably last ran when I was about 24-25 and that was only over distances of 20-30 yards; cricket was a nice easy game.
Back to the point; I know I'm overweight, I know I could do with losing a few pounds but making the effort to do so is........well an effort.
But knowing I was probably going to get on the TGO Challenge (yes; it another TGOC post, expect more in the coming weeks), I decided to try and lost some weight and doing some actual walking looked like a good idea.
So back in September; I started walking to work, two days a week. The distance for each day was just shy of 6 miles; 5.9 to be exact.
I did this for 9 weeks which added up to 108 miles. 108 MILES!
The weight must of been dropping off me; right.
WRONG!!!!!!!
In all that time and mileage I lost 5 pounds.
I did feel fitter but not losing weight is the biggest issue for me.
I do like the odd bag of crisps and bit of cake but I cut these out during the 9 weeks and ate sensible food during the period, as I really wanted this to work.
I can see why people can get frustrated with diets and give up.
Anyways from next week I'm starting out again and hopefully I can lose my 2oz a day.
