Got up at 7am! Took dog out and tested Endomondo at same time. Still evaluating - seems to stop tracking when you press the button on top of phone. http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/105275277
Washed cars. Made bread. Blocked all the exits / entrances to the shed to keep Pip out of em. In afternoon took Pip up golf course and then round the block - although managed to pause the tracking and lost half a mile I still clocked best part of two miles.

Much better stuff. Up at 5:30 a walk/run with the dog - apart from cocking it up and pausing it Endomondo worked much better:- 3.3 miles clocked and a bit left behind but good stuff - plenty of running with Pip - we'll keep her trim!

Back from work. fireworks all over the shop - Pip no likey so went a mini run to deliver a card to Janette's nephew's missus and then back managed to stop the first bit of the run so there's .7 of a mile in the first workout and 1.92 miles in the second! both seem to have the same URL : http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/105511288

As Pip wouldn't go out last night due to firework jip I thought I'd better get up a bit extra early so was up at 5:20 and taking her a 3.5 mile walk/run http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/105511288
Did some bread cobs for the troops when I got back and then into work early to set up drums and what have you (don't ask). All good. Took the pooch out a bit late - Janette was at a meeting regarding plans for a traveller caravan site at Ashbourne that everyone's against so in hurry to walk dog and get to bed I forgot the phone so no log of a 1.5 mile walk round. N'er mind.

Up at 5:40 struggled a bit to get up but slept really well. Not in a mad rush as am at Dentist's first thing. Took the pooch on a 3.5 mile walk round http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/105751405 picking up papers along the way. I did a couple of jobs in garden then off to Dentist. Teeth mangled and into work by 10:30 all okay.
Weigh in tonight - although had a few drinks at the weekend and generally haven't been very on plan I reckon there will be a weight loss.

Another three pounds gone last night but couldn't stay. Such is life. Got up at 4:30am - took Pooch out. Got to Derby station for 6:30am train and down London for 9am.
Went to a customer focus day held by one of our suppliers, held at Lord's no less. Matthew Syed, former England number 1 Table Tennis player –
did an exhibition match and invited attendees to return one of his serves that
all had so much spin on them they went at 45 degrees from the angle you
expected. Very impressive, then did a
brilliant talk and gave away his book bounce. Much of his talk focussed on
praising effort rather than talent – if you praise someone as being incredibly
talented they’re likely to sit back on that talent and think they don’t need to
train, if you praise someone’s effort and commitment they’ll keep working and
jeep improving. He also made the point
that almost all champions are champions because of the hours they've put in –
Tiger Woods wasn’t a child prodigy with just god-given talent he’d put in more hours by the age of 12 than
most social golfers ever do! It was
saying nurture, environment and commitment make champions.
Dr Pete Lindsay a performance psychologist who has worked
with Team GB Boxers was next up and delivered a talk that
set well with Matthew Syed’s talk which explored myths that get in the way of
performance. It was interesting to
watch how the two wove in scientific research to support their points.
Anne Panter was the final speaker I saw she is one of the
bronze medal winning Team GB Hockey team and I’ve even held it - they’re pretty heavy truth be told!! What was great about this section was that it
told her story about a really bad car crash that saw her out of action for two
years and how she recovered from it to make the teamn
All good stuff. Will put some pictures on in due course.
Took Pooch out for 2.5 miles in the evening, made some bread, went to sleep knackered.

Saturday 10th November 2012
Up early - took pooch out for a couple of miles walk. Woman of the Year do in Birmingham - got there for 10am to give the girls a hand as we are going to trial credit card payments you see. Absolute bedlam - we got it done though.
