Ran 4.5 miles today in 45 minutes. Should find it easy to run the 3 miles scheduled for tomorrow. No muscle pain today but beginning to think that sports drinks may be a good idea as I seemed to be lacking energy towards the end of this run.

Ran my first 4 miles today at Bridgend Esporta. Getting easier to run the first 3 now. Lets see if I can run the same distance again tomorrow.

be carfeul of tar throwing errors on files too big though

transfer individual files using

compressed:

dd if=filename bs=256k | gzip -c -1 | rsh remote_machine "gunzip -c | dd of=filename ibs=256k obs=256k"

I hate flash though.  I really hate it.  Oh, wait a minute this looks like a good use for it.
