Asics Gel 3030 Shoes & Nike Running Top

Trying to get Barley into the momentum of running. Definitely good to enjoy those LSD with another partner than doing it alone. Bought for her a new pair of running shoes since the retired pair was like 5 years old. Way expired. Now is just trying to convince her to do the distance progressively. Any ideas?

I also purchased a Nike running top from the same store. Bright blue and plain, perfect for running at night. The lack of any finisher logo reduce attention from others as well.

And Back to Shift Soon

My course has finally ended with my last session completed just before lunch. It has been a long journey since
April till November. Unfortunately, the light at the end of the tunnel came a bit too late. Till next time.

Lots of stuff to settle for the flat which has been long overdue. Thereafter, time to plan for next year race schedule.

Garmin Forerunner 310XT Firmware Update 4.20

Garmin just released its latest firmware update for the Forerunner 310XT. As stated on the website, the main and only change from 3.90 to 4.20 is to resolve the GPS acquisition issue. I'm having this issue in fact, which I later on sort of "resolved" by resorting to always clearing the GPS cache.

I did so by pressing the ON button and the DOWN button simultaneously. While it takes a longer time to obtain a fix, but once locked on, the GPS accuracy is usually around the range of 8-9m. This is compared to 12-14m by just powering on the unit.

I'm still waiting for more feedbacks from our brave early adopters of the new firmware before attempting to update, but the initial results seem promising. Itchy fingers...
