Remember this? That was the last time I ran (gasp). After getting so sick, packing, vacationing and returning back to the real world, well it had happened in over 3 weeks!!! Well, I did not train for almost 4 months to just let this fall by the wayside ... so this morning, I was back at it. I did my 3 mile loop and ran 2 miles of it, so I'm feeling pretty good about that.
Of course it doesn't hurt that I have this new toy ... in green of course ;).
And in a few days I'll be getting Nike Plus. Have you heard of it? It's a little "chip" you place in your special Nike + shoes (well, they want you to think you need their shoes) or attach to any shoe using a little shoelace pouch, or tuck inside your sock. The chip "talks" to your iPod Nano, giving you status updates as you run, time, calories, distance, etc. Then at the end of your workout, when you sync your iPod to your computer, it tracks your runs. How cool is that?
I'll admit it, I'm a bit of a "techie" when it comes to products that make my life a little easier or enjoyable.
Anyway, can't wait to try them out together ... stay tuned as there are also widgets I can add to my blog to show my progress.
Oh and back to today's run ... the best reward, the nice hot shower afterward ... the combination of the two is a winning start to the day. We're going to enjoy what's left of it here, and the beautiful warm sunshine, and plant the last of our tulip bulbs!
Happy Monday!!

you go with your return to running...I can't run, just can't...I love a good yoga or pilates hour, but running just doesn't work for me! Love that green ipod though!
Yeah for running!! Let me know how you like your Nike Plus, I may have to get one for myself. Oh, and I checked our placement in the 5K, we were #387 & # 388 out of 694 in the Individual Run. And we were about 3 times faster than #694 :)
