Tamaki 10KM Run with GPS Thingy

Did a 10K run along tamaki drive again, this time with the GPS wristwatch thingy which was great. Went out with an (ex) marathon runner from work and unfortunately set out at a wee bit of a faster pace than i could maintain across the entire trip. Is great to be able to analyse the whole race, particularly for a geek like me. 58 minutes was the total time with average pace of 10.4km/hr. This is as boring as the tech posts isn't it?

Garmin Forerunner 305

Woohoo! My GPS wristwatch thingy has arrived. It measures distance, speed, elevation, heart rate, calorie count as you run. Even allows you to race against your previous runs and export the runs to google maps!

Personalised plate

Thanks for the tips Carin! We got our new plate last week, one of the benefits of living in a small country means the number plates can be a bit easier to read..

Meadowbank/Remuera 7km Loop Run

Today, i ran with Luke along a new 7km route he's devised taking some of the Remuera slopes. A bit tough after yesterday's run, but we did it in around 43 mins, so speed of around 9.75km/hr, a bit up from yesterday in fact!

too much geek stuff

oh dear, i fear my blog has taken a turn for the worse. Almost 3 weeks without a post, what is going on!!

As lucy has said in the comments..

"Hello I know your geek stuff is very interesting but.... well.... can you post more pics, videos and news about what you, your good lady wife and very cute son have been up to"

well what can i say, work has been crazy and i have a bunch of photos/vids i simply haven't gotten time to upload yet.

In otherwords, i have a life. Well, a work life that is, consuming every waking second when i'm not apologising to annabel for not getting up in the morning or having the energy to bath tommy, not good. But that is partly why i've been posting all this crap about technology, because some of it is with pretty new stuff and i know i struggled to find stuff on the web about it. Anyway...

Tommy is walking. He is also climbing. His favourite thing is emptying the dishwasher and opening the dvd player, taking out the dvd, opening the bin, and putting the dvd in the bin. He likes spinning on my study chair after his bath and before he goes to sleep. He has curly hair at the back and needs it cut. Even when he's all sweaty and snotty he's still pretty cute. Yesterday he said "bye bye daddy" when i left for work and i cried. He points at everything. He gets annoyed when the neighbour's car makes too much noise. He tells you when he's about to do a poo, sometimes he even squats. He doesn't like avocados, gets that from me. He is not afraid of the bath anymore, but won't sit right down. An empty kleenex box is one of his favourite toys, putting things in, taking them out, shaking it with things inside. I can almost hold his hand when walking without crouching down. He doesn't look where he's going when he walks, this annoys me. He can spot the balloons in his reading books every time, i'm trying to tell him what grapes are, but he still points at the baloon. He sings "up above" when you sing "up above the world so high", and makes a diamond shape when you say "like a diamond in the sky".

Annabel is wonderful wife and a brilliant photographer. She's almost gone completely digital now and is getting more and more portrait work as well as weddings. We'll probably need to put tommy into daycare a couple of days a week soon so she can do all her work. She is very patient with me, and i am very lazy, especially in the mornings.  She is also very cute even when she's sweaty and snotty, which isn't that often.

Will that do lucy?
