One of the things I find really helpful in terms of motivation (for running) is having easy visibility of weekly, monthly and total mileages, times, paces etc. So, a couple of weeks ago I bought myself a Nike+ Sportband.

Sarah wanted ‘Ruby Ruby Ruby’ by the Kaiser Chiefs as her ringtone. Her mobile doesn’t have any easy way of connecting to a PC, so she joined one of the rip-off ‘Ringtones R Us’ services that force you into paying £4.50 / week for as many ringtone downloads as you want (aside: I must be [...]
