Venice or Bust: Strange times
http://veniceorbust.blogspot.com/2011/09/strange-times.html
Tuesday, 13 September 2011. So, since my last blog what's been happening? Had finished most of the run, Buster flying along gamely with his Racing Ears on and streaming out behind him, when suddenly I realised that he was no longer with me. This was after I'd just gone round our largest field and I'd last seen him at the far end of it, which is separated only by a hedge from the main road. No sign of Buster. Curses. Finished run and saved it on Runkeeper, and on Garmin. Oh Runkeeper, what is going on?

Venice or Bust: June 2011
http://veniceorbust.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 30 June 2011. Day 29 and Day 30. So, It's over! Yesterday was just abs. Today a run outside for 30 mins http:/ runkeeper.com/user/Kimivory/activity/41387485. I did nearly every day of Juneathon, I think only a couple of misses, and I have lost 4lbs. I'd like to have lost more, but 4 lbs = 1lb per week which is what you're supposed to lose if you're doing it sensibly. I'm also going to copy Cake of Good Hope http:/ cakeofgoodhope.blogspot.com/. To get lovely toned arms like Jennifer Aniston.

Venice or Bust: Half Marathon (better late than never)
http://veniceorbust.blogspot.com/2011/10/half-marathon-better-late-than-never.html
Sunday, 9 October 2011. Half Marathon (better late than never). I thought I'd better get this blog out before the Royal Parks crowd all do theirs v. efficiently tomorrow ;). So 2 weeks ago I DID my Run to the Beat HM! It was brilliant. I met up with Carla ( Fortnight Flo. And Alma ( Plustenner. And we ran all the way together apart from a short distance in which I had to shoot off and find a toilet or else I'd have had a Paula Radcliffe moment! Thanks to the Royal Standard for letting me use theirs!

Venice or Bust: July 2011
http://veniceorbust.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, 23 July 2011. So, I took a deep breath and bought a Garmin Forerunner 610! I have to say it's been a little complicated to set up, but it's done now and the link at the bottom shows you my 8 MILE RUN! Runkeeper vs Garmin - opinion so far. I took them both out for the run, with Runkeeper on silent, just tracking the run. Sod's Law dictated that Runkeeper worked fine yesterday. I did 12.98 km according to Garmin and 12.97 on Runkeeper. I've bought the Garmin for reliability as Runkeeper has been ...

Venice or Bust: September 2011
http://veniceorbust.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 20 September 2011. So, Half Marathon is on Sunday! I do feel ready now, although I'm not going to break any records. I was awed when I saw Nell McAndrews coming in at 1hr 25 on the Great North Run last weekend, but there is no fear of me doing that. I finally feel that I have my kit exactly right. My New Balance 1226 trainers are great. Runkeeper as a back-up, my old pal and not really an added extra as I use the iPhone for music. I do have a penchant for running with the kitchen sink, and watch...

Venice or Bust: Crappy Run
http://veniceorbust.blogspot.com/2011/08/crappy-run.html
Wednesday, 31 August 2011. Well that was rubbish! I decided that I was doing a long run of 14 miles. If I did this I'd be v. happy about the HM at the end of Sept. I did everything right. Had Pasta last night, had porridge for breakfast this morning 2½ hours before run. First my music played all crackly don't know if it was the headphones or the iPod. I couldn't get into any sort of rhythm. Then runkeeper spazzed out and told me that I'd already done 34km! Then the iPod stopped playing altogether. Http:/...

Venice or Bust: Possible Answers!
http://veniceorbust.blogspot.com/2011/09/possible-answers.html
Thursday, 1 September 2011. So, after yesterday's disappointment I set about making sure it wouldn't happen again. After researching on t'internet, I concluded that both the crackly music, and the ghostly voice commands, were the fault of the earphones. Earphones have been the bane of my life since I started running. Either they are too big in my ears and they hurt, or they get all sweaty and fall out, or other irritating little problems to numerous to bore you with. I've had a go with them just walking ...
