Ah, it must be Easter Sunday, because once again I’m up at stupid o’clock in the morning to run the ridiculously early starting Trowse 10k. It doesn’t even start at 11am like lots of races. It starts at 9am. They don’t send your number out in advance either so you can just bimble up at

Hi Tech Fitness

Back in January I was lucky enough to be able to go to CES in Las Vegas and while I was there I made a much briefer than I would have liked tour to the fitness section to look at some of the fitness tech available, so I thought I’d share some of what I
