Forgive me for poo-pooing your musical selection. I'm just a long-time rem fan who's been mourning their death lately. But geez, none of that was the point of your post was it? You went for a big run on your lunch break! You're on your way to a half marathon! You're getting ever more svelte and fit even as we speak! Sorry if it takes me a little while to focus on the bigger issues. Cheers! j Gosh. Forgive me for poo-pooing your musical selection.

Metroknow: The South Island is much more beautiful (as much as it pains me to admit - being a North Islander!). Most of the volcanoes are extinct - we think. Cynthia: It is.

That fact really stuck with us after our trip there. When we visited we confined the visit to the North Island, saving the South Island for our next trip there. We absolutely loved the North Island - we essentially traveled around the circumference of it and were utterly blown away. Although I must admit...the volcano factor made me more than a little nervous. :) <em>Metroknow - AlmostFit.com's last blog post..<a href='http://almostfit.com/2008/04/06/retrain-yourself-on-food-portion-sizes-part-1/' rel="nofollow">Retrain Yourself on Food Portion Sizes - Part 1</a></em> Wow, this post really makes me miss New Zealand, particularly the proximity of farms to such a metropolis.

(wait, I think I said that the last time I commented...hrm. Note to self: be more imaginative next time.) I just love your attitude -- and your cute smile. :) Don't suppose you've got an unmarried twin brother just lying around you're doing nothing with, eh? haha! When I read your entries about running, I truly get fired up to get out there and RUN -- right now I'm totally in the "shuffling-but-calling-it-jogging" phase, but in my mind, I'm RUNNING FREE, baby! Someday ... someday. *sigh* :) Andrew, I love reading about your runs!! (wait, I think I said that the last time I commented…hrm. Note to self: be more imaginative next time.)

I use Running Ahead to log my runs but they don't take GPS data (yet). Karen, ChubbyChick and Wundalucy: It is very nice. Auckland has heaps of these leafy parks dotted around the city so it's a great place to live. JustTooFat: There are no instant classics on this album I think but I'll reserve judgement for a few more days yet. Sometimes REM songs just grow on you and first impressions are not always accurate.

I think I formally joined the "dreadmill" side today. Sunny and clear is the way to go! Which program are you using to download the maps? Mine don't look like that. Great run.

Question? Are you creating the cool satellite maps of your running or is there a utitlity that will do that with the Garmin data? Sounds like a great run!

(Sorry, love REM. Hate the new album). I always find that I am able to put myself further and get so much more out of whatever exercise I am doing if I can be outdoors. I think it makes all the difference, though I'd never heard "dreadmill" for treadmill before -- that surely won't stop me from using it in the future, however! :) That said, I did my 2.4 mile jaunt yesterday listening to old school REM with a mixture of songs from Up and Document. Glad to see that you are using things like "working from home" as an excuse to chip away at yet another box of butter. :) Be well! j Gosh… your run looks and sounds lovely despite some stinky aromas and (what I consider, anyway, to be) a fairly stinky REM album.
