A cool Gadget!

Yesterday when I got up it looked like more rain, I stepped outside and the temperature was really nice so I debated on a bike ride or road run. With the look of rain I decided on a road run, haven't run on the road for a couple weeks so I thought I would do the Penn Farms loop. As I got dressed I put on a new piece of the uniform, it's a Nike+ sportsband and it is cool. Adam told me about it because I was looking for something to give me mileage and pace while running the trails. The most obvious choice is a GPS watch, but if you look at the price its not so obvious. The Nike+ uses a chip that you put in/on your shoe and then calibrate your run and walk stride with the watch. The cool thing about it is its like a flash drive you plug it into your computers USB port and it automatically downloads to the Nike website. The other thing it is pretty accurate, after calibration I ran the Y turkey trot course (5mile) and when I finished I was pretty much right on. Good enough for me! Plus it was half the price of the cheapest GPS and you don't have to worry about losing signal if your out on a trail run in a deep hollow. "I like it don't you?" The advertisements over back to the run! really not much to tell 7 miles at easy pace and sweating profusely. (Not like me) Running the road reminds me how much I do enjoy running the trails. When I run on the trails time flies by, but the road I'm just wanting it to be done. Get out and enjoy the outdoors! TODAY!!!
