  1. i would cinsider rocket to be a red colour also, so it being green is a bit weird. i got a blue one too, so i can wear for a few runs, then wash and have a second waiting in the drawer i was gonna get the get vayper ones, but they has none in stock in size. i went small after measuring myself again a couple of more times, and im glad, id say the med wouldve been baggy so less effective
  2. its been discussed a few times how people are worki g harder working from home and productivity is up massively compared to most office environments. plus... you have a poppet! new babies are able to bend the fabric of space-time, so tou think you been doing something 5mins but its been an hour...
  3. @ColinD. thanks for the tip! Alpkit Koulin base layer tops. really comfortable, snug fit, good price, teeshirt over it was alot less sweaty than usual. trail tights.. really snug, but comfortable. i like the thigh pockets, hold the phone fully immobile during the run so not slapping off my thigh. last night was the coldest run ive done so far, but my torso was just lovely and comfortable. hands were cold during the outward leg. legs.. could feel the cold air coming through, but it was alright since i was moving. need to clean that mirror.....
  4. i couldnt face a run wed night, or friday night. something about 5 hrs broken sleep and 11 hr days out in the wind cold and rain put me off wanting to go running.. so i went tonight, in my new Alpkit base layers. ill do a post on them tomorrow. not a brilliant time, but given ive not been out since Monday and that im knackered anyway i was happy. it was a solid run that i was comfortable with the pace i held throughout, so it was grand.
  5. since i thought of that, i just a vision of some lad going in, paying 18k for a "midsize saloon petrol" key. hoping for a vrs 245 and being at the gate on the way out in a base spec 1litre focus saloon
  6. i would love to see just a big 50gallon drum with all the car keys in it. no reg tags on them, just all the keys together but that gave me an idea.... just separate the keys out into different barrels based on size and fuel type, with descriptions of whats what so all the hatchback diesels are together in a barrel, all the electrics etc. then you open it up as a treasure hunt. pay lets say, 10k for a hatchback diesel key, then you rummage in the barrel blindfolded and pick one. if you can then find that car in the storage facility you keep it you get the type of car you wanted, cheap, but mightnt be the spec or model you expected.
  7. the back also looks really unbalanced. i can get over the off centre number plate, and boot handle, but i was behind one yesterday with a towbar and i could get rid of the feeling that the hitch and its cutout in the bumper looked like it was off centre by about 3 or 4 inches. even though it wasnt, it just looked all sideways. its also clearly eaten all the cgrustmas cake every year.. its massive now! must be bigger than a circa 2006 RR Sport, possibly even a Full Fat of the same zera!
  8. the first pic in that link, the m4 , on the right, the back end looks like a kia optima!!
  9. id go along with that. my FL mk2 Octy is faded the exact same way since before i bought it. i even asked the exact same question as the OP about there being an led in there somewhere mine is so barely there it really looks like its an etched bottom surface for light diffusion.
  10. @ColinD Alpkit Koulin base layers ordered. thanks for the tip and they curently have a spacesaver sale on incase you need any trail equipment
  11. gick. thats how i would describe tonights run. that horrible heavy feeling when your stomach is processing too many chipper chips and chicken. need to buck up on Monday!
  12. or she may be insulating herself against possible covid transmission from their cups etc?
  13. ugh. twas a tired day. and so .. lost 8 sec/ km. i dont mind though, ill pick it up on Saturday
  14. i was too hard on myself 8 seconds per kilometer to find. holy god thats gonna be tough, considering tonights attempt hurt so much 😳
  15. yup.. or snow or gravel or heavy rain
  16. yup. they will sell hundreds of them in the middle east..
  17. excellent screensaver video if it was 1999. very lovely though
  18. nah, see thats different as its an insanely designed car and the 4 pipes are square. the sloped twins on the M just look strange and a bit naff.
  19. figured out the metric swap. given the covid test development i wasnt really feeling like a run but went anyway. and took it handy.
  20. Ffffffuuuuuuu........ it. 🤬🤦‍♂️ anyone know accurate the fitbit gps is???? and.... how to change it to metric? still another minute to find..
  21. borked linky there m'lady. the first one works, that is.... Early 00's modified peugot 306 on the cover of Max Power naff...
  22. ill have to get swmbo to measure me properly, and then see i think. theyve no small or medium stock in the vaypor kit atm anyway, which seems to be lighter and softer than than the koulin gear.
  23. running on Roast Ham loin, potatoes and veg tonight ... spotify started acting the 97ick and faffing with it definitely cost me time on the outward leg, hitting the turn in 13m 4sec.. i gave a bit extra on the start of the return leg to make back some if the time then realised after about 600m that i had hit the stop button, not lap button the watch 🤬🤬🤬 so i dont know my actual time, but i knew from "clocktime" when i left so was able to ball park it that i wasnt far off 26mins in total. made me happy. then, while still annoyed with myself for the stupid mistake i had a sweaty epiphany. if my route is, by google, 5.2km so i turn at a nice big easy to spot landmark, and im doing that in just over 26mins.... yip, im running about 200m per minute. which means i need to run an exact 5k on Wed night, because i may have hit my original target of 5k in under 25mins by the start of sept. remember that i lost a week the end of August, so i think goal 2 may be awarded! ( goal 1 was running 5k without a walking stint) just have to remember to have chicken for dinner wed... not steak...
