Sunday - lovely sun...day

Well done party of 8 last Sunday, we made the sun shine, and a good time was had by all. The bay run turned out to be a good option considering the weather on Saturday. I will find another suitable wet weather track for future weekends, maybe a less busy one.

For those interested in using some technology, the apps we talked about on Sunday are - for iphone and ipod touch - Nike + GPS (times and maps the route, ipod doesn't allow maps but iphone does) and for androids - MapMyRun - (free, also have a look at their website.)

Steve and I have our eye on a walk at Balls Head for the weekend - stay tuned.

MORE WALKING TIPS

Even though you were all rude about my walking tips last Sunday, I am determined to persist, so here's more..............Consider that your head is the heaviest part of your body. As well as striking the ground with your heel, keeping the toes up then rolling onto the ball of the foot before pressing into the big toe.......... you need to keep your head up and eyes straight ahead. Use your peripheral vision to check the ground for obstacles, then return your head to the upright position.

Makes sense really, if you are looking at the ground with head forward, and trip over, where is the heaviest part of your body going to take you????

Cheers
