A grand day out and running with my new gadget!

Well the weather was not so bad so we set off for Hampton court this morning. When we got near, there was hail (yes, hail in May!). There were a few showers but thankfully we were always near the indoor bits when it rained so we managed to stay dry. We had a lovely day wandering around, we even managed the maze (well it took all of 5 minutes!) and a nice walk around the gardens. The biggest grape vine in the world was pretty impressive.

On our way home we popped to the shops, and both of us treated ourselves (both using birthday money) to a new pair of trainers. They both had the Nike+ hole in the shoe, so when we got home we both fitted them in and went off on a short run to try them out. My it was windy out there today! I was pretty impressed with how easy it was to start the Nike+ band, and I managed the 3.25 mile course in 33 minutes (not bad for me), although the band estimated that it was 3.8 miles. If only I had longer legs! I have re-calibrated it so hopefully it will be more accurate on my next run.

I have spent a bit of time fiddling around on the Nike website, and think I will get the hang of it. I have not joined any of the challenges yet but I am sure I will at some point.

Had another slice of carrot cake this evening (it is so tasty- if you have the book then try the recipe out!!!).
