I am such a list and statistic junky that the recording of all the information is totally the best part of the whole process. Sometimes I delay in loading it up to extend the anticipation. Me too.

Great list btw (and thanks for the link back). As you know I swear by my Nike+ sports kit. I think without my gadget, running wouldn't be as fun and as easy to get into. There's something about getting immediate feedback on your pace and the distance you've covered. I reckon now that I've got a fairly good rhythm, I could probably run blind i.e. no gadgets and keep the pace even. I think with the gadgets (and I hope Santa does get me a forerunner this year) it takes a lot of the guess work and fuzziness from running. Sure you could work out your pace by mapping out your route and timing the run, but this is hard work for a new runner. I seem to be a bit obsessed by pace don't I? Can you tell I'm prepping for a marathon? :D Anyways good to have you back! Long time no blog!
