Ready for Lidingöloppet!
0September 24, 2009
I suppose it’s a little bit funny that I’m so excited for this event after reading my “Urban or Suburban” post, but I am. The Lidingöloppet’s main race on Saturday is a 30km cross-country run on the picturesque island of Lidingö, a Northern suburb of Stockholm, Sweden. I lived here back in 2001 and I’ve missed it ever since I moved.
Lidingö has an area about 25% the size of Manhattan, but with only 30,000 inhabitants, leaving a lot of room for outdoor recreation. You’ll also find Sweden’s best sports training facility here, Bonsön, nestled on the island’s North side in the midst of Lidingö’s vast network of well-maintained trails. Many of these trails see race activity year-round; X-country skiing, running and triathlon.
I’ve been looking forward to this event for More >

UMapper Map of the Week
Once more, I want to thank Andrei and the guys over at UMapper for recognizing my Nokia contest entry for their Map of the Week. They gave me the same honor a few weeks ago for one of my routine Sports Tracker workouts.
UMapper can be used by anyone for logging and embedding custom maps just about anywhere. I started using their service to embed maps of each of my workouts when I began this blog, and I like that I can choose from many different map providers, each with multiple viewing options. I also like that I can add graphics, information and media to my maps and see those changes reflected anywhere I have embedded a particular map.
All UMapper features are quite user-friendly, especially for WordPress bloggers via UMapper’s available plug-in. -David Hroncheck

Running Digital Thanks UMapper!
One of the advantages of using Word Press for blogging is their easy to use library of third-party plug-ins. It’s right in line with my focus on flexibility and personalization, offering something for everybody. For my needs, the most useful plug in I’m using comes from UMapper.
All the maps of my workouts, filed under the tab “My Training”, were embedded using the UMapper plug in. I get to choose between a variety of map providers when creating a new map, then I upload the KML data file exported from my Nokia Sports Tracker application. If needed, I can manually add more details and markers, resize, align and insert my completed map anywhere on my blog. It’s very easy to use.
Yesterday I was notified by UMapper that my use of their product was recognized for their More >
