On this day:

Contact King & Time-piece Trials...


More of a social post really... I'm on my third day of trying out contact lenses (these ones specifically), and I've got to say I'm enjoying the freedom! They're getting more comfortable day by day as my eyes desensitize (gone from gritty sensation to hair-like feeling), and it is great to be able to go out running in the rain and not have to perpetually wipe my glasses! I have a check up in 2 weeks to see if my eyes are getting damaged by them, but that's of such low-likelihood that it's not an issue. It'll be nice not to be known as 'the freak in sunglasses' at overcast cross country races this winter (no-one realizes I need them to see, it's not that I'm trying to be 'cool'), they have been my signature for the last few years!

On a different note, I managed to get my hands on one of these...



Its a Nike Triax Mobius, and they're virtually impossible to get hold of at the major retailers at the moment. Sadly Nike still haven't brought back the' dated data log' feature of the older models, where each stored run had the date it was recorded shown next to it. This means a bit of guess work is involved, as the fact that the runs are recorded by a number index doesn't really help un-pick my past month's schedule. Hopefully this will be less of an issue now I'm more vigilant with my diary keeping, and I can just concentrate on enjoying the top-notch design & ergonomics! I'll keep you informed, as much as one can be informed about a watch. Don't expect to hear anything unless it blows up on my wrist...
