Day 216 - first Suunto ambit run

New toy arrived today, my Suunto Ambit GPS running watch! Set up was pretty quick, it's nearly all run by Movescount website, you can even create your own apps!!

Still, plenty of time to test it out before I get that far. So, first outing was the tried and tested Otley three miles with Pamela, which turns out to be about 2.89 miles, apparently. Read out also gave amount of ascent, average pace, km splits, mapping etc.

Mostly though, I wanted the watch so I can just run anywhere and know what distance at the finish, and pacing will be useful in training too.

Nice bright day, still cold in the easterly wind but feeling almost like spring.

Three more miles takes the tally to 1,196.
