I indeed ran the SainteLyon race at the beginning of December 2011; first time ever I was running that much (68km). I'm writing quite a long time after the event which is quite unusual for runners: you usually read reports some days or sometimes hours later. I choose to write some pieces from time to time when the need was present.

A new start?
By Chty on Tuesday, December 20 2011, 14:34
I have more and more difficulties to find some motivation to write something here; maybe because I'm using `twitter` and it sounds easier to write a few words sometimes rather than spending hours trying to write good sentences. I lack to share some thoughts about running though; maybe I'll give it another try or move these stuff to a more specialized place to speak about running and nothing else.

Inov-8 Roclite 285
By Chty on Wednesday, August 3 2011, 21:34
First time ever I didn’t wrote a few words during more than two months.
I'm slowly trying to get my running level back because of different injuries I got. I will try to run the SainteLyon race in December. That's why I bought new trails shoes.
I decided to try a new brand I saw on some blogs: Inov-8 Roclite 285. It was the first time I was buying shoes without trying them before. The sizing seems good and I will see how they will evolve with my training.

Vibram fivefingers bikila LS
By Chty on Sunday, May 22 2011, 13:23
A few weeks ago I got the vibram fivefingers for my birthday. I originally didn't want to buy these shoes because I found them too expensive for what it is. Since I was thinking about them anyway, it is now a good occasion to really try them. I got the bikila LS model from hawaiisurf.com which is also a shop near Paris. Unfortunately, I'm still not able to run because of my foot issues but I hope to be ready soon and write some feedbacks.

Marathon de Paris 2011
By Chty on Wednesday, April 13 2011, 00:09
Comme prévu, je ne suis pas allé courir le marathon de Paris 2011 malgré mon inscription mais j'ai quand même fait le déplacement pour aller supporter des amis. La chaleur était au rendez-vous, bravo aux coureurs !
Rien à voir mais j'ai pu discuter avec les vendeurs de chez New Balance; ils m'ont dit que les New Balance Minimus devraient arriver courant Juillet 2011 en Europe. Plutôt une bonne nouvelle, même si je crains fortement que la chaussure prenne 50 euros dans l'aile au cours de sa traversée de l'Atlantique.

Sunny and cold
By Chty on Friday, March 25 2011, 14:17
This is really the period of the year I prefer: not too cold, not too hot but sunny; a perfect time for running. This is indeed a moment where we see more and more runners in the streets coming from nowhere.
Unfortunately for me, I can't enjoy this lovely weather. I have not been running for one month because of injuries; several medical consultations revealed to me that I have two small fractures on the left forefoot. Strange to spend the year 2010 without any trouble and starting the 2011 with annoying issues. I will therefore (and unfortunately) not run the Paris marathon 2011. I really hope to be fit for fight as soon as possible.

KVM and Virtio on Linux
By Chty on Wednesday, March 16 2011, 22:05
I did not found any precise documentation about how to configure Virtio with KVM, especially if a special configuration was needed on the host side; so here it is:
- For the host machine you don't need anything particular apart from the correct KVM configuration.
- For the guest virtual machine, here is an example of what you should have in your kernel configuration:
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=m
CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_RING=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=y
