MR to Hit 10.000 Downloads This Month

Thanks to lifehacker.com and several other sites, my spare time project MindRaider will hit 10.000 downloads this month only at sf.net (April 2009). Despite the fact that there is no doc, UI is a bit chaotic and I work on it just for my personal pleasure it seems that the result is not that bad :)

SLS3 Dilemma

After being injured twice this month (left and right carf, tentacle's tendons), I bought SLS3 compression socks. I was skeptic, but because I was in trouble I decided to give them a shot. The arguments sound reasonable and Paula Radcliffe (my woman runner idol) wears them several seasons - so they must be good, right? ;)

I did tempo workouts and a long run (>20 miles) and I'm pretty sure that it works. I feel much better, especially the recovery is significantly faster. The socks are designed properly, so I do not afraid of blisters even in the marathon. I look funny when I wear them, but at least I do not have to shave my legs :)

The problem is that I have a dilemma right now - should I wear them in my next race or not? Will see...

1/2 marathon PB: 1:29:27 > 1:23:16 > 1:21:59

I have improved my half-marathon best two times this year. PIM - first I cut more than 6 minutes. Check very nice race simulator (Google maps mashup). Pardubice - I was injured week before the race, I got a wrong number due to organizers fault, I had to make Jeff Galloway's walking break intermezzo... despite of that, I set my new personal best and cut more than minute to 1:21:59 ;)

Kubik also finished his first big race in Pardubice. He was riding tuned Specialized hotwalk and obviously had his personal pacemaker.

Prague International Marathon: half marathon, 1:23.17, 125th place/4537 runners.

Pardubice Half-marathon (Czech championship): half marathon, 1:21:59, 87th place/826 runners.

Kara did not win, but...

This is not a fake ;) Can be seen at Universal Sports (2:44.25).

10k PB: 37:58.76

I run just for my personal pleasure and therefore I race occasionally. Today it was a special day - I improved my 10 years old 10 kilometers personal best. Although results are not the reason why I run, this one made me really happy ;-)

PIM Night Grand Prix: 10k, 37:58.76, 65th place/1624 finishers.

Grooverider Free

I listen to Fab&Groove show @ Radio 1 almost every week since 2003. Grooverider, long-time DJ partner to fellow dnb pioneer, Fabio, was arrested for possession of 2.16 grams of cannabis at Dubai airport in November last year.

Over the years I liked Fabio's sessions more than Grooverider Radio, but after Grooverider was arrested, I found out, that I really miss the harder face of dnb. There was yang, but no yin - balance dissapeared.

Fortunately Grooverider has been freed from jail in Dubai earlier this week. Now he is back home. Originally he was sentenced to four years in prison. He was released as part of the 700 pardons for the religious festival of Ramadan.

Welcome back Groove!
