So with my new shoes and a pedometer my mother bought for me today, I set off on my third run.

The shoes (and possibly a few days rest as well) made a world of difference. Because I’m currently staying with my brother-in-law in darkest surburbia (Hersham, near Walton-on-Thames to be precise) and I was pushed for time, I went for a shorter run than my previous (successful) attempt.

Ran for 21 minutes Covered 2.247 miles Took 3301 strides Burnt 275.7 calories

Being a typical geek, I love the idea of collecting this sort of information. Admittedly it’s not quite as cool as Mikes version, but I can’t really justify that sort of kit at my current level.

What is pretty cool about the pedometer is that only records when you’re moving, so if you do stop for a break, it’s deducted from your overall time.
