new runner's diary >>> feature - lace up with the running shoes overview & editor

Dear fellow runners,

runner's diary >>> (http://www.runners-diary.com/index_en.php5) helps
you to keep track of your running exercise - and now features a new
function. From now on, you have a dedicated tool for entering
information about your running shoes: name, maximum km capacity,
description and date of first usage. Each time you specify a running
shoe while entering your exercise data, runner's diary will
automatically calculate your shoe's remaining km capacity - this helps
you to avoid pain or even physical damage resulting from the overuse
of a pair of worn-out running shoes.

And here is how it works:


0. Either get yourself a full fledged runner's diary account by
clicking on the "Sign in" tab and filling out the form. Important: do
not forget to click the "generate sample exercises" checkbox (please
mind that you should have access to the email address you specify
during the registration process). *Or* click on the "Demo >>>" tab in
order to explore runner's diary without registering.
1. After logging in or starting the demo, respectively, and following
the instructions on the screen click on the "Running shoes" tab. As
runner's diary has inserted some sample data for you to play with, you
will see three (bogus) running shoes in the overview table.
2. Click on a shoe's name in the overview table or select a shoe from
the list menu below the table. Edit and save the sample data to check
out how everything works.

To enter your own running shoes follow these steps:

3. Enter the name of your (first) pair of running shoes in the
editor's field "running shoe".
4. Enter the maximum km capacity of your running shoe in the field "km
max." (should be something like 1000 to 1500 km I guess).
5. Enter a short description in "comments".
6. You can optionally enter the date of your first usage of this pair
of running shoes in the field "in use since" (but in contrast to steps
3-5 this is not mandatory).
7. Click the "display in overview" checkbox to make sure the data for
this pair of shoes figures in the overview table you will see after
having saved your data. This feature is primarily meant to allow you
to *exclude* shoes after you have worn them out - by simply
deactivating the mentioned checkbox.
8. Click on "Save" and - after the "Successfully saved" message is
displayed - click on the "Running shoes" tab again. Now you see the
overview table with your first pair of running shoes in it.

Repeat steps 3-8 for every other pair of running shoes you want to
enter.

Of course, you can edit all the data you entered in steps 3-8 any time
you like - just click on the running shoe's name in the overview table
or select the name of the running shoe from the list menu in the
editor form. And of course you can delete every pair of running shoes
by simply clicking on the "Delete" button after having selected the
respective pair of shoes.

Of course, you still have to associate the running shoe(s) entered
above to your exercise data. Just do so by selecting a pair of shoes
in the "running shoe" list menu in one of the forms in the "Enter
exercise data" menu. As you might expect, you can edit this relation,
too: just go to "Show exercise data" -> "Single exercise view" form or
click on the notepad symbol in one of the views in "Show exercise
data". Here you will find the same form as in the "Enter exercise
data" menu, but this time you can edit all the data you have entered
before, including the association of a running exercise with a running
shoe (see "running shoe" list menu there).


One last thing: I have also moved the "Running courses" menu one level
up (left of the "Running shoes" tab). This way it should not go
unnoticed as it probably did before:).


Questions & comments welcome, as always!


All the best for you and your running exercise with runner's
