Good evening gang,
i dont do karate anymore Jude but did for 6 years from 20 to 26.I did a form of karate called tai soo do,which is Korean.
I never had been so fit before and since,and enjoyed it greatly.
Wish your leg bone better RR! a bit of physiotherapy needed maybe?
Has anybody here got a garmin or similar?if so are they any good?
i hope ecky's boy is feeling better and i wish you better too Angel.
everybody else ok ???

Thanks. I had some physio on my shoulder earlier this year - troublesome injury that I picked up about twelve years ago, which flares up every now and then. Since physio, I don't think I've had any major problems with that shoulder. Also before physio I couldn't turn my head on that side anywhere close as I could on the other side. With any luck, it'll produce the same results for my knee.

I'm tracking a Nike + Sportsband as well - holding fire in case 'Santa' comes through for me.

Charts distance, pace, calories and time - that's all I need, and it's much cheaper than a Garmin.

loulabell · November 2011

he offered, but i changed my mind..the nike does my mins per mile, distance, time, etc...im now learning how what a8m/m 10m/m 11m/m feels like etc,,,

RoadRunner76 · November 2011

How did you calibrate it, Loula? Did you go down the track because that's a set distance?

The Phantom · November 2011

ok ty.

I think i need something to tell me what i'm doing lol

i'm getting my gait checked at the Asics store in town next week too

loulabell · November 2011

um i dint remember calibrating it RR

just set it on nike website to measure in miles and my weight etc....what do you mean 'set distance'

RoadRunner76 · November 2011

Well when you go to a track, you know that a certain amount of laps is a certain distance, whereas I can't be sure if I'm correctly measuring how long a mile is for example, by plotting it on various sites. I heard a lot about people having to 'calibrate' it, but if all you have to do is enter those details on the Nike site, that keeps things simple.

I had mine checked at a Nike store about a year ago - I had to run on a treadmill while they filmed me - result was 'stability shoes'.

loulabell · November 2011

ooo i see..well all the routes i run have been measured in the car long ago lol...so know how long all my routes are and where the 1/2/510/mile point is is etc and because i have a few worked out i change them round, add them together to make longer ones etc...i wear a watch too sometimes to check that the nike time is matching true. and it is. i have found the diatance on nike pretty accurate.

The Phantom · November 2011

you run 510 miles wow.i've the longest way to go yet

RoadRunner76 · November 2011

I'm looking forwards to beginning a record of how many miles I've run - it'll be fun to see the total after a few years.

So do you find it pretty accurate, Loula?

The Phantom · November 2011

do you need to have Nike shoes for the watch?

loulabell · November 2011

oops sorry typo..i meant 5/10 mile points lol...

RR, yes i find it accurate.had mine since january..am on something like 550+miles

ian, no you dont need the nike trainers for the sportband. i DO have nike trainers but they are kids ones. i out the sensor in a bit of bubble wrap and tag tie it to the front of my trainer-works fine

The Phantom · November 2011

ok i will do a bit of research then decide.(said in a german accent)thankyou

loulabell · November 2011

haha...510mile point...thats funny

[Deleted User] · November 2011

Evernin all

You lot have been chatty again.

We went to Big Girls parents evening tonight and she is doing really well apart from one thing...........she talks too much.I wonder where she gets that from.

Im still really hoping the Garmin Fairy comes to me Christmas.I have been such a good girl.

Legs are so sore tonight.I had to get Hubby to help me up the Car Park at the school.I may have to give up the club run tomorrow night. My friend worked out that we did over 250 squats on Mon. I hate Pyramids.

The Phantom · November 2011

250 squats wow BUT not as good as Loulas 510 miles

loulabell · November 2011

lol...well i HAVE done 500miles...just not in one go

..over 11 months actually

loulabell · November 2011

ooo ecky,, i hate squat things,,really makes ya bum hurt

....i think my worst case of achey leggies was after my first ever event..had to go down stairs backwards for 2 days

The Phantom · November 2011

miles and miles and miles and miles more than me

loulabell · November 2011

...am hoping to do 16miles again or a tad more this sunday..trotting off with my little pink backpack

The Phantom · November 2011

[Deleted User] · November 2011

Lol Ian yes I am just nowhere near as brilliant as our Sparkly Little Loula .

Loula I could do with a stair lift.I am having to drag myself up on the Bannister.I may have to do the backward technique. I must admit he has not killed us like that for ages. I suppose its all good.

[Deleted User] · November 2011
