Contact me

I'm Ivor (in case you hadn't got that from any other links or posts)

 Always happy for people to get in touch and say hi, or ask questions. I might reply, don't take it personally if I forget or don't get around to it, I try (to reply that is, not forget).

Best option - email - I'm usually much better at being contacted or getting around to replying by email.
I get enough spam already, so figure it out: It's a gmail address starting ivor.hewitt 

At the moment, post twitter, I *am* on Mastodon if that's your thing.

No, I don't do Facebook or Instagram or Snap or TikTok or Linked in, although nothing annoys me more than events who decide that they will use Facebook as their event site (actually, that's not true, lots of things annoy me more).

 That's it.

seven month update

Image
so how's it going? Seven months on. I've been trying to work out how to communicate this all week (and a bit), mulling over different ideas. going for a run, thinking it over, but never actually getting around to writing it down. Similarly, I'm supposed to be writing a short bio for an upcoming race, but I have absolutely no idea what to say about me. "Started late in life, runs a bit, doesn't take it too seriously"? Reckon I'm going to have to find someone else's to copy. 😀 After finally summoning up the courage to finish reading Anne's ' one year update ' - that spurred me on, I think it's good for me to get this down on paper and out of my head, hopefully someone will find it useful or helpful and I think it will be good to be able to look back on my thoughts in the future. I try to keep getting back to a normal (for me) routine, so it can be deceptive looking at what I've been up to and thinking everything's

Tracking running Part #2

Image
Part deux tracker blog posting...  If you're just interested in running and not technology, this is probably not that interesting for you so head over to the run post instead... ( link ) If you are just interested in technology, this is the post for you! If you're interested in both, probably wander off and read that one first, then come back here. 😁 After several improvements and reworks from the first build of the tracking website ( described over here ) I was happy with my tracking website now, and it had worked well on the race day... The site can follow several trackers, supports several different types (mine, tk102, tk104, lk109, orux map), can show the track taken for each, overlay a "course" show the elevation profile with aid stations along the way, highlight the viewers location... (ok it is possible I may have over-engineered it since it's just a personal site) S o decided it was time to stop adding bells and whistles and should return to the idea of b

back from the brink

Another weekend, another 100 miler in the calendar after the disappointment of the failed GUCR attempt two weeks ago. My cough is still lingering but feels like it's finally shifting and the forecast is for a hot dry day, so I’m feeling confident. Well after all, I *know* I can run 100 miles.  Getting to the start was slightly more stressful that usual: I probably ought to either take Friday afternoons off for races, or be a lot more organised in the week beforehand - rather than trying to find, pack and arrange everything into drop bags, run bag and finish bag in under 45 minutes. Check online and trains showing as on time.... so I grab a coffee passing through Croydon, grab a sausage roll in Clapham... then hear the announcement over the tannoy that there are severe delays of up to 45 minutes expected. Uh oh, I'm not going to make evening registration, not a huge issue since I can just sign on in the morning, but I'd wanted to be ready to go from waking up. T
