Antarctic-Social Running VS Anti-Social Running (Audio Post)

Topic for tonights post: In a week that has seen the start of my Marathon training plan and the formation of our Run-Walking group, I have quickly forseen the potential of a future dilemma. This dilemma will be.... do I stick with the group and enjoy the social aspect of fellow Run-Walkers or if this becomes a handicap do I turn my back on them for the pursuit of my own personal goals?

My 2nd Antarctic run "Plog" ...Please note that I was distracted at the end of the recording, someone was looking at me strange because I seemed to be on the phone (not possible due to no networks)...but I have been using my Blackberry to record audio notes (hence the confussion). As a result I lost my train of thought and therefore forgot to mention that I sparined my ankle right at the end of the run :-( But it should be ok for the next run on Thursday and hopefully I can get some video :-)

>Via a couple of tweets I discovered that a couple of these vehicles would be at the Russian base "Novo" when I arrived in Antartctica three weeks ago. So as you can imagine this has been a really exciting thing for me to see them for myself, especially as I found them through social media and the power of social networks. >
>& Way back when I first heard of them I didnt for one second think I would actually get to see them never mind ride in one (very ...very cool bits of cold weather kit).

>Any how I hope you like this short video, please also be aware that due to my computing problems this video is very low quality, but when I get home promise I will do a HD version. Hopefully this video will give you a feel for how brilliant these things are....also keep in mind they are driving on very bumpy ice. >

Due to a whole host of reasons its been well over a week since I last posted anything. The main two reasons have been the weather and wasting hours ring to make phonecalls back home over a satalite internet connection. The audio part of this post is a bit boring and is basically me trying to vent some frustration at the many failed attempts to phone home.

The video part of this post was recorded on my Blackberry phone so the quality is rubbish and the sound quality was even worse, but for now its the best I can manage. Because the audio was so bad I had to add some music just to mask the bad quality so please excuse the lack of speech coming from my mouth. Also because I had no editing software Ive made use of www.jaycut.com to do the editing. This is a really cool tool if your dependant on cloud computing as I find my self now my mac is dead. However because my connection is so bad (something like a a 56K) I am working effectively blind...hopefully it gives a taster of what things are like.
