I really am quite impressed with “Cardiac Trainer<\/a>”\u00a0 for Android Phones, it is free in it’s basic form, which is more than ample for what I want it to do which is basically record where and how long my dander are and according to it in the last 10 danders in the last 7 days I have managed a grand total of 52.02 miles! Which it has to be said is way way more than I could have imagined every having done in a year let along a week back in 2008 when I started dandering.<\/p>\n

My Cardiac Training Log<\/p><\/div>\n

Anyway this weekend I had a client\/friend visit on Saturday afternoon and as a result my usual 8-10 miler was curtailed somewhat to a wander into town and back in the morning to get “not just smoked haddock fish cakes but M&S smoked haddock fish cakes”, a 250 cc tube of Zinc White Acrylic Paint, a tin of yacth varnish and 4 feet of plastic lawn edging thingie stuff. Now I didnt think this would amount to a lot of miles.. but to my surprise it came out at just under 5 in total. I supplimented this with a another 5 miler before bed so I don’t feel guilty shirking my weekend danders when the weather is fine.<\/p>\n

Since I woke up Sunday whilst Dawn was still yawning and scratching his “bits” and wondering why Night had not filled the coffee machine before he buggered off. I got an early start and I hit the road at 8:30am. Now Sunday was the first rainy start we have had in 9 days! For Northern Ireland in April that is a LONG time between rain. However it was only a brief bit of yuckiness and then it faired up and became another sunny day<\/p>\n

I broke in a new walk too, I have been doing some hills in my other danders but none that steep and none too long. So I thought I would tackle one of the steepest bits of road in the area. The dander was as follows and is very pleasant but there is a section of about 2 miles of exceedingly steep climbing so not perhaps for the first time danderer or the hungover.<\/p>\n
