SEO makes you fat

Many people who have met me will testify to the fact that I could do with losing a few pounds (I expect that MickG, PaulH, DaveN, Pilky, Esrun, TheKaptain and VSloathe and many others will all now be reading the rest of this with a smile and some enthusiasm at the thought of more ammo for taking the piss, I give as good as I get though! – Im not linking you lot as youll have to find this yourselves )

So in the past month or so I have taken on the task of running to get rid of some of that excess baggage. I started last month at the top end of 13stone (If your a yank use Google to work out that just in pounds or learn that our way is better) and so far I have lost about 8 pounds, that included a weeks holiday so im happy so far although id like to get down to 12 stone 3 pounds – Top end of ideal for my height.

Spending all day and night in front of a macbook isnt the ideal way to keep slim and I reckon like most of IT most SEO’s could lose a bit of weight.

Being the gadget freak and geek that I am I needed a way to geek up the task so I would keep at it and therefore I am using: -

Then I have been setting myself challenges on Nike+ to get me running, I do plodding slow 2 mile runs at the moment along Blackpool prom.

Its a nice run, fresh wind, sunset on my left and the bright lights of Blackpool and the piers ahead.

So anyone else looking to get some weight off? Love to do some challenges with a few people on Nike+, I can take the abuse – See comments that will get posted for examples of that

The great thing about Nike+ is that you get to set challenges like first to 20miles with other users anywhere in the world and as you sync your data you can see the progress of everyone taking part (And yes you can abuse them via comments each time you check!)

Let the comment abuse begin!
