Running vdot

Finally got around to doing a running vdot test. I have been meaning to do for a couple of months but have been busy training for specific races that taking a workout out to do a test like this was not possible.

So before anything my final vdot is 44 . My time 21:55 for 5k run with LT 175. A lot to be improved on. My legs were tired and aching from the crazy,getting lost, long run 10mi from the day before. Most coaches would say that it is a bad idea to do a vdot test after a long run but for the moment this will have to do. I had to establish a baseline for the rest of the marathon training.

Different software

I finally got around to switching the software I use for my website. I have now gone through 4 different CMS/blog software (drupal, joomla, geeklog, wordpress) . I guess coming from a technical background and being more than anything inquisitive of what these different software offer I feel driven to try them. It also provides good research/ideas for my own work.

So I finally have switched to wordpress. For the moment this will have to do, since like everyone else I would imagine I don’t like to switch the software I use everyday.
