Paula Radcliffe Wins 2007 ING New York Marathon

Filed under: Running — Steve Speirs @ 6:13 pm

Paula Radcliffe Wins 2007 NYC MarathonLess than 10 months after giving birth to baby Isla, British runner Paula Radcliffe stormed home to win the New York Marathon. For 25½ miles, Radcliffe was shadowed by Gete Wami of Ethopia who followed Radcliffe’s every move. Throughout the race Radcliffe tried several times to shake her opponent, gaining a slight advantage only to see it disappear.

In the final 800m, Wami finally drew even with and slightly ahead of Radcliffe, but then seemed to back off. It wasn’t so much Wami backing off, it was Paula surging ahead – she answered with a final decisive move. This time Wami could not answer. “I’ve been there so many times,” Radcliffe said. “I was determined it was my turf.” She finished the race in 2 hours 23 minutes 9 seconds, winning in the end by 23 seconds.

Impressive Lance Armstrong Returns To 2007 New York Marathon

Filed under: Running — Steve Speirs @ 9:05 am

Lance Armstrong finishes NYC MarathonLast year, Lance Armstrong described the 2006 ING New York Marathon as “the hardest thing I’ve ever done”, but vowed to return and run again in 2007

. True to his word, Lance trained harder and smarter, and ran an impressive 2 hours, 46 minutes, 43 seconds to finish in 698th place – 13 minutes faster than last year!

“I enjoyed it much more this year,” said Armstrong, who finished 698th in 2 hours, 46 minutes, 43 seconds. “Last year, I had no idea what to expect with 26.2 miles, and I paid for it.”

About 130 runners competed in the marathon for Team LIVESTRONG, which raises funds for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The group expected to bring in more than $500,000 dollars for cancer research and programs.

This year Armstrong looked fresh in his yellow jersey at the finish – a stark contrast to last year where he hobbled home in 856th position with painful shin splints – a condition he needed about four months to recover from! This time, he trained more consistently and puts his success down to faster 18 and 19 mile runs.

Savebuckets Online Comparison Shopping

Filed under: Reviews — Steve Speirs @ 7:37 pm

SavebucketsSavebuckets is a new free to use online comparison shopping service, which will help you to find the product you want at the price you want. Savebuckets features thousands of products from a wide range of shops (many of the shops I already knew, some of them I didn’t). You’re able to select the range of shops you want to search from.

I decided to search for mp3 players aliens vs predator requiem dvdrip

download frida dvd

305 download free , entered a price range of £25.00 to £50.00 and selected “All Stores”. 213 products were returned in the search results, which I filtered further by selecting “mp3 players” from the categories on the left of the screen. Once I found and clicked a product I was interested in, a detailed product description is displayed along with a “My Price” box.

“My Price” allows you to stick to your budget when buying a product. Just enter your email address and the maximum amount you are prepared to pay against the product you have selected. Savebuckets will then check the price of that product whenever a shop has changed the price, and contact you by email when the price has reached or fallen beneath your maximum price. The email will contain a link directly to that shop.

Savebuckets is a great site that allows users to save time and money when shopping online. Savebuckets does not sell any products and is purely a price comparison site which allows you to compare prices on a wide range of products through hundreds of different shops. With the Holiday Season rapidly approaching, Savebuckets could emerge as one of the most popular online shopping sites.

2007 Marine Corps Marathon Race Prediction

Filed under: Running — Steve Speirs @ 6:55 pm

Ok, it’s 7:45pm on the eve of the Marine Corps Marathon – the race I’ve spent the last 16 weeks training for. I’ve been thinking about a challenging goal all week and today have finally decided on a starting, and hopefully ending, pace which will bring me a new PR (personal record). It won’t be easy and the secret will be to start off at the right pace – any slight deviation will bring about a repeat of last year’s race where I “hit the wall” badly at about the 20 mile mark.

So here goes. Tomorrow’s goal will be a 2:50:30 for the 26.2 mile course, which is an average 6 minutes 30 seconds per mile. My previous best time is 2:51:00 set at the Charlotte Marathon last year. It’s certainly not going to easy, especially with the weather forecast calling for moderate to high winds.

Whatever happens, it’s going to be a great experience. The “People’s Marathon” is a fantastic event and the crowd support and network of volunteers is superb. Hopefully this time tomorrow I’ll be celebrating a good finish time, but no matter what the clock reads at the finish, I’ll know I’ve given it my all.download booty call divx college road trip dvd

Brooks ST3 – Shoes Of Choice For 2007 Marine Corps Marathon

Brooks ST3

house of fear the free download

One of the easiest decisions leading up to the 2007 Marine Corps Marathon was the old question “What shoe should I wear?” Despite wearing heavily cushioned shoes for all my weekend long runs, I prefer to race in something more minimalistic – yes, even in a marathon. My shoe of choice for races over 10k in distance is the Brooks ST3. It’s one of those rare shoes that feel perfect right out of the box and just lacing them up makes you feel fast :)

Features & Benefits: alvin and the chipmunks movie download

* Forefoot HydroFlow: Forefoot-specific viscous fluid unit enhances cushioning under the ball of the foot, while improving flexibility
* Full-length S-257 midsole: Provides excellent energy return and cushioning on every stride

* Engineered Cush-Pod configuration: Midsole and outsole components are engineered to set the foot in an efficient , balanced position throughout gait cycle, offering maximum stability and flexibility

Save up to 68% Off at Road Runner Sports! 234x60 9.28.07I’ve successfully worn the earlier Brooks ST2 model in 3 previous marathons, and each time had a good race. There’s just enough cushioning and a tiny amount of support that doesn’t impact my otherwise neutral running style. According to the Brooks web site, the ST3 is “ideal for tempo training and race distances from 5K to marathon” and I would have to agree 100% with their statement.

Road Runner Sports 7eventy 5ive divx are currently selling the ST3 for $84.99 ($76.49 if you’re a VIP member), which has an average customer rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Doesn’t get much better than that! Price correct as of 10/24/07.

Key Run Workout #1:
10-20 minute warm up
6 x 400m (400m Recovery Interval)
10 minute cool down

Key Run Workout #2:
3 mile run @ PMP pace (Planned Marathon Pace)
1 mile easy

Key Run Workout #3:

Marathon Day

Remote Runner Tracking is a free service which allows you to receive split times and finish information instantly on a pager, text messaging number or e-mail and is a great way for friends or family to cheer for their runner (or runners) Live split locations will be at the 5mile, 10 mile, 13.1 mile, 15 mile, 19 mile, 22 mile and the finish points.

eBates Double Bonus Offer – Earn $10 When You Sign Up

Filed under: Make Money Online — Steve Speirs @ 8:36 pm

eBates

download definitely maybe online

Just received an email from eBates letting me know about their popular Double Bonus Offer which runs from now until November 15th, 2007. Simply sign up using my referral link, make a qualifying purchase before the offer ends (11/15/07) and eBates will rather generously add $10 to your account!

If you’re wondering how eBates works, let me explain:

  • Every time you’re looking to shop online, start at eBates.com.
  • Search for your favorite shops, products or special offers which are updated daily. If you prefer you can also browse by category.
  • Shop by clicking on any of the 800+ stores or product links. You’ll be redirected to the merchant’s site where you can shop as you normally would.
  • Within a couple of days your cash back will appear in your eBates account.

I posted about the same offer which ran a couple of months ago. 7 people signed up for the bonus, but only 1 made a qualifying purchase before the offer ended. Sadly this meant they missed out on their $10 – shame! Meanwhile, I’ve saved a fair chunk of money by buying numerous items through eBates – ink cartridge, computer paper, iTunes songs, coffee, candles and more. My total cash back since joining is $38.10 and I’m due to receive payment via PayPal on November 15th. Every 3 months, eBates will cut you a Big Fat Check for purchases posted during the previous quarter based on this schedule.

If you have the “Auto-Redirect” option activated, Moe will automatically redirect you to the merchant site within our Ebates frame, thus allowing you to earn rebates through your Ebates account.
